AM DEVICE

The present invention provides a technique for evenly supplying powder used as a material to a DED nozzle.According to one aspect, an AM apparatus for manufacturing a fabrication object is provided. This AM apparatus includes a DED nozzle. The DED nozzle includes a powder port provided at a distal end of a main body of the DED nozzle and configured to eject a powder material therefrom, and a powder passage provided in communication with the powder port and configured to allow the powder material to pass through inside the main body of the DED nozzle. The AM apparatus further includes a first pipe, a separation wall extending from an end portion of the first pipe toward an upstream side inside the first pipe, and a plurality of second pipes connected to the end portion of the first pipe. The separation wall divides the end portion of the first pipe into a plurality of regions, and the plurality of second pipes is connected to the plurality of regions of the first pipe, respectively. The second pipes are connected to the powder passage of the DED nozzle.
