Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable use by a plurality of the cliants of a selective laminate molding system by providing a means receiving one or a plurality of the commands of cliant computers in the selective laminate molding system for shaping a three-dimensional object by performing shaping at every one layer. SOLUTION: A selective laminate molding system is equipped with a material distributing carriage 10 loaded with a material distributing head 12 such as a multi-orifice ink jet head or the like and a smoothing part 14 such as a rotary roller and/or a high temp. roller and the carriage 10 is held so as to be displaceable before and behind along the X-direction in the vicinity of a shaping support stand 20. The material distributing head 12 receives the high temp. molten material supplied in a liquid state from a storage tank to eject the same selectively but this ejection is controlled by a control computer. The control computer receives the commands outputted from a plurality of cliant computers and controls the distributing head 12 according to the commands.
