A three-dimensionally shaped article production method, which is a method for producing a three-dimensionally shaped article by stacking a layer, comprising:
- ejecting a curable ink containing a UV curable resin, thereby forming the layer;
- irradiating the ejected curable ink with an ultraviolet ray;
- and
- flattening the layer by removing at least a part of the layer.
A three-dimensionally shaped article production apparatus, which is an apparatus for producing a three-dimensionally shaped article by stacking a layer, comprising:
- a shaping section in which the three-dimensionally shaped article is shaped;
- an ejection section which ejects a curable ink containing a UV curable resin, thereby forming the layer on the shaping section;
- a UV irradiation section which irradiates the ejected curable ink with an ultraviolet ray;
- and
- a flattening unit which flattens the layer by removing at least a part of the layer.
