Original Abstract Submitted
an information processing apparatus includes an information processing portion configured to obtain setting information set for a shaping apparatus for causing the shaping apparatus to form a plurality of layers. the plurality of layers include an (n−1)-th layer, and an n-th layer formed subsequently to the (n−1)-th layer. the n-th layer includes a first region overlapping with the (n−1)-th layer in a lamination direction, and a second region that is continuous with the first region and that does not overlap with the (n−1)-th layer in the lamination direction. the setting information includes information for setting an energy radiated by an irradiation portion of the shaping apparatus in formation of the first region to first intensity, and information for setting the energy radiated by the irradiation portion in formation of the second region to second intensity lower than the first intensity.
