Abstract
A three-dimensional forming system includes a three-dimensional forming apparatus and a control device. The three-dimensional forming apparatus includes a nozzle that discharges a forming material, an opening/closing mechanism that opens or closes a flow path connected to the nozzle, a moving mechanism that changes a relative position between the forming table and the nozzle, and a control unit that perform a control based on forming data. The control device includes a forming data generating unit that analyzes path data including a path indicating a movement direction and a movement distance of the nozzle and a discharge parameter indicating discharging of the forming material, generates the forming data by adding an opening/closing command for driving the opening/closing mechanism to the path data, and transmits the forming data to the three-dimensional forming apparatus.
