A printing apparatus is for printing a three-dimensional object. The apparatus includes an operative surface, an energy source for emitting at least one energy beam onto the operative surface and a powder dispensing mechanism for depositing powder onto the operative surface, the powder being adapted to be melted by the or each energy beam. The powder dispensing mechanism is configured to deposit multiple layers of powder onto the operative surface simultaneously.
