Abstract
A three-dimensional object printing apparatus includes a first head, an energy emitter, and a moving mechanism. The first head has a first nozzle face in which a nozzle for ejecting liquid is provided. The energy emitter has an emission face from which energy for curing the liquid ejected from the first head is emitted. The moving mechanism changes relative position of the first head and the energy emitter in relation to a three-dimensional workpiece. The moving mechanism includes a linear motion mechanism that changes the relative position of the first head and the energy emitter in relation to the workpiece along a first axis, a first up-and-down mechanism that moves the first nozzle face along a second axis intersecting with the first axis, and a second up-and-down mechanism that moves the emission face along the second axis.
