A mold manufacturing method includes machining, based on a final outer shape of a mold, a workpiece including a plurality of separate blocks. The plurality of separate blocks are selected based on the outer shape, all or part of the plurality of separate blocks are provided with through holes for forming a flow path. The mold manufacturing method further includes adding a material to the workpiece through an additive manufacturing technology employing directed energy deposition as an additive manufacturing process, so as to form, on a surface of the machined workpiece, a continuous surface based on the outer shape.
