  • Patent number: 11780159
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing device performs preliminary heating of a powder material laid and leveled in an irradiation region of an electron beam by irradiating the powder material with the electron beam and manufacturing an additively manufactured article thereafter by irradiating the powder material with the electron beam and melting the powder material. The additive manufacturing device includes a beam emitting unit emitting the electron beam and irradiating the powder material with the electron beam. When the preliminary heating is performed, the beam emitting unit performs irradiation with the electron beam along an irradiation path in a first direction and performs irradiation with the electron beam thereafter along an irradiation path in a second direction set at a jump distance from the irradiation path in the first direction as a direction opposite to the first direction.
