Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An additive manufacturing apparatus includes a powder feeder to feed powder, a head to discharge the powder, a first flow passage connecting the powder feeder and the head, a flow passage switching valve provided disposed in the first flow passage, a reservoir tank configured to receive the powder fed from the powder feeder, a second flow passage connecting the flow passage switching valve to the reservoir tank, a first sensor, and a second sensor. The flow passage switching valve is configured to take a first position and a second position alternatively. The powder feeder is connected to the head via the first flow passage in the first position to supply the powder to the head. The powder feeder is connected to the reservoir tank via the second flow passage in the second position to supply the powder to the reservoir tank.
