The liquid discharger discharges a modeling liquid to the powder in the modeling tank. The powder supplier supplies the powder to the modeling tank. The powder supplier supplies the powder to the powder layer while at least a part of the modeling liquid discharged from the liquid discharger and adhered to a surface of the powder layer remains existing on an outermost surface of the powder layer.
