A partition member (14) having a lattice-shaped partition (30) is arranged near an upward surface of molten metal tank. The upward face (16) is partitioned into a multiplicity of partial surfaces (34) by the partition (30). After a forming start member (20) is caused to contact with the partition member (14) to bond a molten metal to a start surface (66), it is separated from the partition member (14). The molten metal is withdrawn for every partial surface (34), and the molten metal (24) withdrawn solidifies, so that a formed material (26) is formed, of which a cross-sectional shape corresponds to a shape of the start surface (66). If a forming start member having a start surface of a different shape is used, a formed material having a cross-sectional shape corresponding to a shape of the start surface can be formed.
