Abstract
A discharge apparatus, a forming apparatus, a method of operating the discharge apparatus, and a method of producing a formed body are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a discharge apparatus is used to collide a particle with a fixed surface to fix the particle to the fixed surface, the discharge apparatus includes a first dispenser for discharging an aerosol containing the particle toward the fixed surface at a first discharge rate, and a second dispenser for discharging a gas toward the fixed surface at a second discharge rate faster than the first discharge rate, and the second dispenser discharges the gas so that the gas at least partially overlaps with the aerosol to accelerate at least a portion of the aerosol toward the fixed surface to fix the particle to the fixed surface.
