Abstract

A three-dimensional shape data processing apparatus includes a processor configured to divide a three-dimensional space including a three-dimensional shape constituted by one or more forming surfaces, which are flat surfaces or curved surfaces or include both flat surfaces and curved surfaces, into plural three-dimensional regions each having a predetermined size, specify, for each of the three-dimensional regions, one or more of the forming surfaces that interfere(s) with the three-dimensional region, and redivide each of the three-dimensional regions until a size of the three-dimensional region reaches a size necessary for reproduction of a property of a portion of the three-dimensional shape expressed by one or more of the forming surfaces that interfere(s) with the three-dimensional region.
