1. A three-dimensional shaping device comprising:
a discharge unit including a plasticizing mechanism which plasticizes at least a part of a material and configured to discharge the plasticized material toward a shaping region of a stage;
a camera configured to capture an image of the shaping region; and
a control unit configured to control the discharge unit based on shaping data for shaping a three-dimensional shaped object, wherein
when the control unit acquires setting information for setting whether to display an image or a moving image captured by the camera on an external display unit in at least one of a period before starting shaping of the three-dimensional shaped object, a period during shaping of the three-dimensional shaped object, and a period after shaping of the three-dimensional shaped object, the control unit executes, based on the setting information, for each of the shaping data,
first processing of transmitting or not transmitting the image or the moving image to the display unit,
second processing of activating or stopping the camera, and
third processing of transmitting, to the display unit, output instruction information instructing whether to display the image or the moving image on the display unit.
