ABSTRACT:
A model optimization apparatus detects redundant shapes, such as two shapes offsetting each other, pattern shapes, etc. in editing data of a plurality of shapes forming a three-dimensional model, deletes the data of the redundant shapes, and releases and reconstructs the relationship between shapes, thereby optimizing the data structure.
