Abstract
Provided is a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional body. This method includes placing around an in-process three-dimensional body a support configured to hold up the in-process three-dimensional body and producing the three-dimensional body while holding up the in-process three-dimensional body with the support. This method is characterized in that the support is made from a support material including multiple materials with different melting points, and that the support is placed in such a manner that a first material, the material with the lowest melting point, flows with the others remaining solid.
