Abstract:
A three-dimensional modeling apparatus includes a plurality of ejection sections that eject shaping material on the basis of shaping data, a detection section detecting an ejection state of the shaping material from the ejection section, a maintenance section that performs maintenance of the ejection section, and a control section that controls the ejection section, the detection section, and the maintenance section, in which, when the detection section detects an ejection abnormality of the shaping material in any of the ejection sections, the control section causes the maintenance section to perform the maintenance of the ejection section in which the ejection abnormality is detected, regenerates the shaping data, and causes the ejection section in which the ejection abnormality is not detected to eject the shaping material at a position where the shaping material is to be ejected from the ejection section in which the ejection abnormality is detected.
