To provide an additive manufacturing system capable of improving work efficiency in an additive manufacturing process.SOLUTION: The additive manufacturing system is provided with holding means 1, material supply means 2, application means 3, and curing means 4. The holding means 1 holds an object to be processed on a stage during the formation of an additive manufacturing object. The material supply means 2 supplies metallic material powder for each layer onto the stage. The application means 3 applies organic material to the metallic material powder in the peripheral area of the additive manufacturing object in the formation process of each layer of the additive manufacturing object. The curing means 4 hardens the area to be the additive manufacturing object and the periphery of the area with the organic material applied thereto in the formation process of each layer of the additive manufacturing object.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】積層造形時の作業効率を向上することができる積層造形装置を提供する。【解決手段】積層造形装置を、保持手段１と、材料供給手段２と、塗布手段３と、硬化手段４を備える構成とする。保持手段１は、積層造形物を形成する際に処理対象をステージ上に保持する。材料供給手段２は、金属材料粉末を各層ごとにステージ上に供給する。塗布手段３は、積層造形物の各層の形成工程において、積層造形物の外周となる領域の金属材料粉末に有機材料を塗布する。硬化手段４は、積層造形物の各層に形成工程において、積層造形物となる領域と、有機材料が塗布された領域の外周部とを硬化させる。【選択図】 図１
