PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide means for appropriately increasing a modeling speed of a three-dimensional object.SOLUTION: An apparatus for modeling a three-dimensional object is provided, which is configured to model a three-dimensional object by a lamination modeling method. The apparatus includes: a plurality of heads 202y to 202k for colored inks including a curable resin and configured to discharge ink droplets of colored inks having different colors from each other by an inkjet method; an ultraviolet light source 220 as curing means; and a control unit. When coloring at least a surface of the three-dimensional object, the control unit controls the plurality of heads 202y to 202k for colored inks to discharge the ink droplets on the basis of an image to an outer peripheral area of the three-dimensional object, which is an area where its color can be visibly recognized from the outside of the three-dimensional object. When not coloring at least the surface of the three-dimensional object, the control unit controls at least one of the heads 202y to 202k for colored inks to discharge the ink droplets to an inner area, which is inside the outer peripheral area.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
