A method for a workpiece comprising a material composed of a base material and an additive is disclosed, the method including spreading a granular material in superimposed layers. The granular material contains the base material and an organic binder. An ink contains a solvent for dissolving the binder, and a suspension of the additive. Using the ink, patterns are printed onto individual layers. The ink dissolves the binder in the region of the patterns, and introduces the additive in the region of the patterns. The patterns in the layers together produce a three-dimensional shape of the workpiece. The solvent is expelled so that the granular material is connected by the binder and the additive is fixed. Granular material unwetted by the solvent is removed to reveal the green compact of the workpiece. The green compact is thermally treated to convert the base material and the additive into the material.

A three-dimensional shaping apparatus includes a plasticizing section that includes a drive motor, a heater, and a screw rotated by the drive motor and that plasticizes a material to form a shaping material, an ejection section that ejects the shaping material toward a stage, a moving mechanism section that changes a relative position of the ejection section to the stage, a prediction section that predicts a residual service life of the heater from an observation result of a state observation section that observes a state of the heater, and a control unit that controls the plasticizing section and the moving mechanism section to shape a three-dimensional shaped article. The control unit has a first mode in which a temperature of the heater is set to a first temperature and a second mode in which the temperature of the heater is set to a temperature lower than the first temperature, and shapes the three-dimensional shaped article in the first mode when a first residual service life when the temperature of the heater is set to the first temperature exceeds a first value, and shapes the three-dimensional shaped article in the second mode when the first residual service life is equal to or less than the first value.
