Abstract
A shaping device for producing a layered body by repeatedly performing a step of forming a powder layer and a step of fixing powder in at least a partial region of the powder layer includes a first liquid application unit configured to apply a first liquid including a binder for binding the powder, a second liquid application unit configured to apply a second liquid for suppressing a flow of the first liquid, and a control unit that controls the first liquid application unit and the second liquid application unit so that where the powder in a first region of the formed powder layer is to be fixed, the first liquid is applied to the first region and the second liquid is applied to a second region adjacent to the first region. The second liquid is a liquid having higher permeability to the powder layer than the first liquid.
