Three-dimensional printing apparatus and object-formation-data producing apparatus

Abstract

A three-dimensional printing apparatus in which an amount of resin material used in forming a three-dimensional object is reduced, includes a core rod including a central shaft, a rotation mechanism that rotates the core rod about the central shaft, a guide rail extending above the core rod and along an axis of the core rod, a shaping head slidably provided on the guide rail and discharging a thermoplastic resin to the core rod, and a moving mechanism that moves the shaping head along the guide rail.
