Provided is a three-dimensional shaped article with relatively high strength and relatively high accuracy.A sintering and shaping method includes: a shaping layer forming process of forming a shaping layer (5) by using a sintering and shaping material in which inorganic particles (2a) are included; a process of applying a liquid binding agent (8), in which inorganic particles (8a) are included, to a desired region of the shaping layer (5); a process of curing the liquid binding agent (8), which is applied, to form a shaping cross-sectional layer (shaping portion (5a)); a process of removing a region (non-shaping portion (5b)) of the shaping layer (5) to which the liquid binding agent (8) is not applied; and a process of heating the shaping cross-sectional layer that is laminated for a sintering treatment.
