Abstract
Disclosed is a shaping method for shaping a three-dimensional object, which includes a slice data generation step that generates slice data and a shaping execution step that shapes the three-dimensional object by a shaping apparatus based on the slice data. The shaping apparatus shapes the three-dimensional object using inkjet heads. The slice data generation step has a color cross-section data generation step that generates color cross-section data showing at least a cross-sectional shape of the three-dimensional object and a color at each position, a plate division data generation step that generates plate division cross-section data in which the color cross-section data is color-separated for each color of the material, and a plate division cross-section data change step that changes at least some plate division cross-section data. The slice data is generated based on the plate division cross-section data changed in the plate division cross-section data change step.
