Abstract
A shaping device that shapes a 3D object, including: a discharging head that discharges an ultraviolet curing type ink as a material of shaping; an ultraviolet light source; a main scanning driving unit; a sub-scanning driving unit, a flattening roller serving as a flattening unit, and a controller, where the controller causes the inkjet head to carry out the main scanning operation for plural times with respect to each position in a plane orthogonal to a layering direction, and when an integrated light amount of the ultraviolet ray irradiated per unit area in one main scanning operation is defined as a unit area light amount, the unit area light amount in some main scanning operations is made smaller than the unit area light amount in the other main scanning operations in the plural times of main scanning operations carried out with respect to each position.
