PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress discharge failure of a model material.SOLUTION: A three-dimensional modeling apparatus 10 includes a model material discharge head 16 for individually discharging model material of plural colors to be used in a modeling process of a three-dimensional model 40 represented by a plurality of sliced layers sliced in a height direction, and a controller 12 for controlling the model material discharge head 16 so as to discharge while thinning out a white model material when forming a solid part 56 of the three-dimensional model 40.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】造形材の吐出不良を抑制する。【解決手段】三次元造形装置１０は、高さ方向にスライスされた複数のスライス層によって表された三次元造形物４０の造形処理で用いる複数色のモデル材を個別に吐出するモデル材吐出ヘッド１６と、三次元造形物４０の中実部５６を造形する場合に、白色のモデル材を間引きながら吐出するように、モデル材吐出ヘッド１６を制御するコントローラ１２とを備える。【選択図】図１
