Abstract
A shaping method is provided and includes: generating a slice data indicating a cross-section of a shaped object based on a shaped object data, and shaping the shaped object. In a shaped object data preparing step, the shaped object data including multiple pieces of part data is prepared. Each piece of the part data is data indicating at least an outer surface shape of a portion indicated by the part data and a color to be colored on an outer surface. In the slice data generating step, the slice data indicating a cross-section of the shaped object is generated by setting the color of each position of the cross-section corresponding to a portion indicated by each piece of the part data, and a color of an interior of the portion indicated by each piece of the part data is set based on a color set for the outer surface.
