Abstract
A three-dimensional fabricating apparatus has a table on which a powder material is stacked in a layered manner, and a shaping unit which includes a powder material supply device supplying the powder material onto a top surface of the table by every predetermined layer thickness and a binder liquid supply device ejecting a binder liquid to the powder material supplied onto the top surface of the table. The powder material supply device of the shaping unit is movable in one direction in a state adjacent to the top surface of the table and is capable of supplying the powder material onto the top surface of the table at a predetermined supply width while moving the powder material supply device. The binder liquid supply device is capable of moving in the same direction as the powder material supply device in a state adjacent to the top surface of the table.
