A controller places the set of three-dimensional objects in the formation area. The controller sets a plurality of placement zones in the formation area. The placement zones are defined by borderlines extending along an extension direction of a recoater for leveling a liquid surface. The controller places the three-dimensional objects in descending order of height in the placement zones. The three-dimensional objects are placed in each of the placement zones in order from a first placement zone of the placement zones.
