Abstract
A mask manufacturing method includes: preparing a base body of a toy figure based on base body data; and scanning the base body with a 3D scanner for acquiring scan data of the base body. The mask manufacturing method further includes: preparing mask mold data based on the scan data, the mask mold data including cover part data indicating a cover part for covering the base body therewith and exposing part data indicating an exposing part for exposing the base body therefrom; and shaping a mask mold with a 3D printer based on the mask mold data.
