To provide low-cost equipment for manufacturing a molding with a three-dimensional shape.
The equipment is composed of: a molding machine 1 having a molding part 10 provided with a stage for molding and a powder feeding part 13 for feeding powder to the molding part and forming a powder layer; an optical device 2 for emitting a light beam to the molding part 10 and sintering the powder at the prescribed part in the powder layer; and a working machine 3 of performing finish working to the surface in the molding as the layered material of the sintered layer at least in the process of the molding. The working machine 3 is an at least 3-axis controllable general purpose numerically controlled machine tool, the molding machine 1 is set on a table in the working machine 2, and the optical device is fitted to the working machine 3 or the molding machine 1. The general purpose numerically controlled machine tool can be utilized.
