A build region limitation unit for an additive manufacturing apparatus includes a movable unit fixed to a build table and a non-movable unit placed on a base frame. The movable unit includes a first anti-scattering frame provided to protrude upward. The non-movable unit includes a flat plate that covers a first build region with a portion other than an opening and forms a second build region, and a second anti-scattering frame that is provided to protrude downward at an outer periphery of the opening. The first anti-scattering frame surrounds the second anti-scattering frame with a gap therebetween.
