PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a molding device capable of easily and efficiently manufacturing complicated and fine solid molded objects.SOLUTION: A molding device 39 at least has a head unit 31 which jets a material containing at least water and a hydrogel precursor and curing means for curing said material. The hydrogel precursor contains a mineral dispersible in water and a polymerizable monomer. In the molding device 39, it is preferable that the water-dispersible mineral is a water-swellable laminar clay.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】複雑かつ精細な立体造形物を簡便に効率よく製造可能な造形装置の提供。【解決手段】水、及びハイドロゲル前駆体を少なくとも含む材料を噴射するヘッドユニット３１と、前記材料を硬化させる硬化手段と、を少なくとも有し、前記ハイドロゲル前駆体が、水に分散可能な鉱物及び重合性モノマーを含有する造形装置３９。水に分散可能な鉱物が水膨潤性層状粘土であることが好ましい、造形装置３９。【選択図】図１
