Molding method and molding apparatus

A molding method comprising:

• dividing a three-dimensional object as a molding target into a plurality of cross-section elements and drawing the cross-section elements as cross-section patterns on a drawing surface of a drawing stand having the drawing surface with a liquid whose curing is precipitated by receiving activation energy;
• applying the activation energy to the liquid configuring the cross-section patterns in a state in which the cross-section patterns drawn on the drawing stand is pinched between the drawing stand and a molding stand;
• and
• detaching the cross-section patterns after being applied with the activation energy from the drawing stand and transferring the cross-section patterns to the molding stand side,
• wherein, in the dividing of a three-dimensional object and the drawing of the cross-section elements, the cross-section patterns are drawn on the drawing surface that has a liquid repellent area that is an area representing liquid repellency for the liquid and a lyophilic area that is independently formed in an island shape within the liquid repellent area and is an area representing lyophillicity stronger than that of the liquid repellent area for the liquid.
