The discharge unit is configured to discharge a first fabrication liquid solidifying the powder and a second fabrication liquid not solidifying the powder onto a surface of the powder layer. The controller is configured to cause the discharge unit to discharge the first fabrication liquid and the second fabrication liquid in accordance with a discharge pattern in which the second fabrication liquid is discharged to a region adjacent to at least some of a plurality of regions in which the first fabrication liquid is discharged.
