Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a three-dimensional object by exposing the object to first and second beams to form a next layer of the object according to data for altering a layer of the material, repeating forming of the layer and exposing to a stimulation, and forming the object of a plurality of layers bonded to each other. SOLUTION: Data representing a three-dimensional object is formed by a computer 67. First and second beams are output from a laser head 70 to a pair of X-Y scanning mirrors 82 through an optical path 85 via an AOM 72, k a first frequency conversion crystal 74, a second frequency conversion crystal 76, a pair of optical path turning mirror 78 and a condensing optical system 80. A next layer is formed on the layer of the object 15 of a material 15 by the pair of the mirrors 82 while altering the data by manipulating the data. Thus, forming the layer of the object 15 and exposing to the stimulation are repeated, and the object 15 is formed of a plurality of layers bonded to each other.
