ABSTRACT:
A calculation area including a three-dimensional (3D) product model is specified, and a plurality of cross-sectional images is cut out from the calculation area. Each cross-sectional image is divided into plural pieces of voxel data, and voxel data of a gap area of the inside of a product is generated from the plural pieces of voxel data. A 3D model of the gap area of the inside of the product is generated, and also a volume of the gap area of the inside of the product is calculated, based on the voxel data of the gap area obtained by each cross-sectional image.
