Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a cut surface in a desired state in a method for manufacturing a solid free shape of an article having a first part and a second part cuttably mounted along separating zones by distributing a material to a plurality of target positions. SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the solid free shape comprises the step of selectively distributing a material for forming the first part 36. When the distributed material is contacted with the target position of the first part 36, the material has an internal volume temperature of a flowable temperature or higher of the material. The method further comprises the step of selectively distributing the material for forming a separating zone 40. When the distributed material is contacted to the target position in the zone 40, the material has an outer surface temperature of lower than a flowable temperature of the material. The method also comprises the step of selectively distributing the material for forming a second part 38. When the distributed material is contacted with the target position in the second part 38, the material has an internal volume temperature of a flowable temperature or higher of the material.
