PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nozzle device, a laminate molding apparatus, and a manufacturing method of a laminate molding article which are capable of melting a material supplied off from a supply position of the material.SOLUTION: A nozzle device of an embodiment comprises a nozzle, an optical system, a moving device, and a control device. The nozzle is formed so as to be capable of supplying a material to an object and irradiating the object with energy ray. The optical system is provided to be capable of changing an irradiation position of the energy ray. The moving device moves the nozzle with respect to the object. The control device is provided to move the nozzle by controlling the moving device, and to be capable of changing an irradiation position of the energy ray by controlling the optical system. 【課題】材料の供給位置からずれて供給された材料を溶融することが可能なノズル装置、積層造形装置及び積層造形物の製造方法を提供すること。【解決手段】実施形態のノズル装置は、ノズルと、光学系と、移動装置と、制御装置と、を備える。ノズルは、対象物に対して材料を供給可能、且つ、前記対象物に対してエネルギー線を照射可能に形成される。光学系は、前記エネルギー線の照射位置を変更可能に設けられる。移動装置は、前記ノズルを前記対象物に対して移動させる。制御装置は、前記移動装置を制御して前記ノズルを移動させるとともに、前記光学系を制御して前記エネルギー線の照射位置を変更可能に設けられる。【選択図】図１
