Abstract: A nozzle for a layered object manufacturing apparatus includes a material supply part and a support part. The material supply part is provided with a material supply opening through which powder of a material is supplied. The support part supports the material supply part to be movable so as to allow a change in a direction of supplying the powder.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a movable apparatus includes a carriage, coaxial paired wheels configured to support the carriage, a wheel actuator configured to rotationally drive the paired wheels, a loading section provided above the carriage, a swinging section includes a first swinging mechanism configured to swing the loading section around a first shaft extending in a direction crossing an axle of the wheels and a second swinging mechanism configured to swing the loading section around a second shaft provided parallel to the axle, acceleration sensing device configured to measure accelerations, and a swing angle control device configured to control the swing angle of each of the first swinging mechanism and the second swinging mechanism, to swing the loading section in a direction in which a component force of the acceleration applied to the loading section in a horizontal direction and a component force of gravity are balanced.
