Abstract
A three-dimensional shaping apparatus includes a discharge portion discharging a shaping material, a shaping stage on which the shaping material discharged from the discharge portion is stacked, a temperature adjustment portion provided in the shaping stage to adjust a temperature of the shaping stage, and a control portion. The control portion stacks the shaping material on the shaping stage to shape and cure a three-dimensional shaping object while changing a relative position between the discharge portion and the shaping stage, and then, heats or cools a portion of the cured three-dimensional shaping object in contact with the shaping stage by controlling the temperature adjustment portion to adjust the temperature of the shaping stage.
