An information processing apparatus (20) sends fabrication data to a lamination fabricating apparatus (70) configured to laminate the material to fabricate a three-dimensional (3D-) fabricated object. The information processing apparatus (20) includes a display unit (23) configured to display shape data of the 3D-fabricated object on the display device (508), a direction receiver (24) configured to receive a direction regarding a strength of the 3D-fabricated object according to the shape data of the 3D-fabricated object on the display device (508), and a relocation unit (25) configured to convert the data to rotate the shape of the 3D-fabricated object in the direction received by the direction receiver (24) to reinforce the 3D-fabricated object.
