A three-dimensional shaping method including the steps, after a lamination step, in which steps of forming a powder layer, flattening with a squeegee and sintering are repeated, followed by cutting of the surface of the laminate, 1. setting the overall shape of an object to be shaped by a CAD/CAM system, and setting machining units that form the overall shape and cutting allowances on peripheral sides and upper sides of each of the machining units, 2. cutting of the peripheral sides and upper sides according to a prescribed order, after lamination with addition of a cutting allowance on the peripheral sides of each machining unit, and after carrying out lamination to the thickness of the cutting allowance on the upper side of the machining unit and the machining unit adjacent above the machining unit, and 3. continuing repetition of step 2, from the lowest to the topmost machining unit.
