Abstract
A shaped object production method includes a first preparation step (S) of preparing a molding sheet that includes a base, a thermally expansive layer laminated on a first main surface of the base, the thermally expansive layer including a thermally expandable material, and a brushed layer laminated on a surface of the thermally expansive layer on a side that is opposite to the base, the brushed layer including fiber; a first heat conversion layer laminating step (S) of laminating a heat conversion layer that converts electromagnetic waves into heat onto a surface of the molding sheet on a side that is opposite to the brushed layer; and a first unevenness forming step (S) of forming an unevenness on the surface of the thermally expansive layer on the side that is opposite to the base by irradiating the heat conversion layer with electromagnetic waves, thereby causing the thermally expandable material to expand.
