Abstract: Using three-dimensional shape data, the shape of a blade, which is an additive manufacturing product, is divided into multiple layers according to the height of a bead. Each layer of the additive manufacturing product that has been divided into multiple layers is divided by fitting regions of a set shape.

The additive manufacturing product is shaped by forming beads along planned bead formation lines.

Abstract: In a track determination device, a CAD data acquisition unit acquires shape data that represents a shape of a three-dimensional formed object. A deposition direction setting unit generates control information for controlling a lamination device that laminates the molten metal in order to form a formed object, based on the shape data acquired by the CAD data acquisition unit. The control information is information indicating at least a specific deposition direction of the molten metal such that an error between a first deposition position set in advance and a second deposition position in accordance with an actual laminated state is reduced. A control program output unit outputs the control information generated by the deposition direction setting unit.
