Abstract

A numerical control device controls an additive manufacturing apparatus that manufactures a modeled object by irradiating a wire, which is a material fed by a driving force of a rotary motor, which is a driving unit, with a beam, and applying the molten material to a workpiece. The numerical control device includes an error detecting unit that detects an error in the height of the workpiece in the height direction in which the material is deposited. The numerical control device includes a condition adjusting unit, which is an adjustment unit that adjusts the supply amount of the material on the basis of the error.
