Abstract

An additive manufacturing apparatus manufactures a shaped object by stacking layers in each of which unit beads that are solidified products of a molten material are laid side by side. The additive manufacturing apparatus includes a material supply unit that supplies a wire as the material to a workpiece, an irradiation unit that emits a laser beam for melting the material supplied, and a controller device that controls the material supply unit and the irradiation unit to form the unit beads. In the formation of unit beads brought into contact with each other to form the layer, the controller device performs control such that a formed unit bead is flattened by irradiation with the beam, and a unit bead is formed in contact with the unit bead that has been flattened.
