Abstract
A method of fabricating a shaped object includes: preparing a formation sheet including a base and a thermally expansive layer stacked on a first main surface of the base, the thermally expansive layer including a binder and thermally expandable material; heating the base of the formation sheet to a temperature lower than an expansion initiation temperature at which the thermally expandable material starts to expand; and heating the thermally expansive layer of the formation sheet after heating of the base, to a temperature higher than or equal to the expansion initiation temperature at which the thermally expandable material starts to expand, thereby causing expansion of the thermally expansive layer.
