Addition controller, addition control method, and program

An addition control method comprising the steps of:

• acquiring shape data representing a shape of a three-dimensional object;
• generating control information on the basis of the acquired shape data, the control information being information for controlling an adding device configured to add molten metal layer by layer to form the object, the control information being information representing at least one of a trajectory of the adding device and an adding condition under which the adding device adds the molten metal layer by layer, the trajectory and the adding condition both making flat an upper surface of one of a plurality of layers obtained by adding the molten metal layer by layer;
• and
• outputting the generated control information.

A program causing a computer to implement the functions of:

• acquiring shape data representing a shape of a three-dimensional object;
• generating control information on the basis of the acquired shape data, the control information being information for controlling an adding device configured to add molten metal layer by layer to form the object, the control information being information representing at least one of a trajectory of the adding device and an adding condition under which the adding device adds the molten metal layer by layer, the trajectory and the adding condition both making flat an upper surface of one of a plurality of layers obtained by adding the molten metal layer by layer.;
• and
• outputting the generated control information.
