1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing instructions; and
a processor which is capable of executing the instructions causing the information processing apparatus to;
perform a check whether there is information indicating that forming is impracticable with reference to content of data to form a 3-dimensional object;
perform acquisition of a feature amount and forming setting related to 3-dimensional forming of the data;
perform, before a forming apparatus starts to form the 3-dimensional object by using the data, transmission of the acquired feature amount and forming setting to an external server that evaluates the forming; and
supply information regarding forming evaluation which is based on the feature amount and the forming setting and is acquired from the external server,wherein the forming evaluation from the external server includes an image of a forming result and a user comment related to the forming result,wherein the image of the forming result is an image indicating a result of forming which is similar to the 3-dimensional object and is previously obtained by using the feature amount and the forming setting, andwherein in a case it is determined that there is no information indicating that the forming is impracticable in the check, the transmission to the external server is performed.

Abstract
A client terminal checks whether there is information indicating that forming is impracticable with reference to content of data for a forming apparatus to form a 3-dimensional object and acquires a feature amount and forming setting related to 3-dimensional forming of the data if it is determined that there is no information indicating that the forming is impracticable. The client terminal transmits the acquired feature amount and forming setting to a server and supplies information regarding forming evaluation which is based on the feature amount and the forming setting and is acquired from the server.

10. A method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
-
checking whether there is information indicating that forming is impracticable with reference to content of data to form a 3-dimensional object; acquiring a feature amount and forming setting related to 3-dimensional forming of the data; before a forming apparatus starts to form the 3-dimensional object by using the data, transmitting the acquired feature amount and forming setting to an external server that evaluates the forming; and supplying information regarding forming evaluation which is based on the feature amount and the forming setting and is acquired from the external server, wherein the forming evaluation from the external server includes an image of a forming result and a user comment related to the forming result, wherein the image of the forming result is an image indicating a result of forming which is similar to the 3-dimensional object and is previously obtained by using the feature amount and the forming setting, and wherein in a case it is determined that there is no information indicating that the forming is impracticable in the check, the transmission to the external server is performed.

11. A non-transitory storage medium on which is stored a computer program for making a computer execute a method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
-
checking whether there is information indicating that forming is impracticable with reference to content of data to form a 3-dimensional object; acquiring a feature amount and forming setting related to 3-dimensional forming of the data; before a forming apparatus starts to form the 3-dimensional object by using the data, transmitting the acquired feature amount and forming setting to an external server that evaluates the forming; and supplying information regarding forming evaluation which is based on the feature amount and the forming setting and is acquired from the external server, wherein the forming evaluation from the external server includes an image of a forming result and a user comment related to the forming result, wherein the image of the forming result is an image indicating a result of forming which is similar to the 3-dimensional object and is previously obtained by using the feature amount and the forming setting, and wherein in a case it is determined that there is no information indicating that the forming is impracticable in the check, the transmission to the external server is performed.
