Abstract
A method for shaping a three-dimensional (3D) shaped object using a 3D shaping device including a shaping table having a substantially flat upper surface on which the 3D shaped object is shaped; an ejection unit that ejects ink for 3D shaping, a planar scanning driving unit that relatively moves the ejection unit with respect to the shaping table in a plane parallel to the upper surface of the shaping table; a layering scanning driving unit that relatively separates the ejection unit and the shaping table from each other in a layering scanning direction; and a flattening unit that flattens the ejected and layered ink; where a support layer disposed between the shaping table and the 3D shaped object to support the 3D shaped object from the lower side includes a plurality of layers formed by being layered in plurals on the shaping table before shaping the 3D shaped object.
