Abstract
In structural body formation, influence of misalignment between an in-process structural body layer and a support member layer on the shape accuracy is reduced.A method for manufacturing a structural body includes: forming a model forming layer from a liquid model forming material on an existing surface formed of at least one of prepared model forming layer and support member; while a defining surface of a defining member defining the upper surface of the model forming layer is in contact therewith; supplying a support material to fill between the existing surface and the defining surface and solidifying the support material into a support member to form a layer of the model forming layer and the support member; removing the defining member; and providing a layer of a model forming layer and a support member on the surface of the layer exposed by removal of the defining member.
