Abstract
An additive manufacturing apparatus includes: a shaping unit including a material supply unit, a heat source output unit for melting the material, and a drive unit that moves the heat source and the material supply unit, the shaping unit being configured to form a bead with the material melted; an operation amount adjustment unit that adjusts a material supply amount or a heat source output based on a shape error of the bead; and an operation amount readjustment unit that, in a case where an appropriate range of the material supply amount with respect to a value of the heat source output is set and the value of the material supply amount is out of the appropriate range after adjustment, selects the material supply amount or the heat source output as an operation amount, and preferentially readjusts the operation amount selected.
