To provide a machine tool apparatus that reduces molding cost by automating the supply of materials in molding and prevents adhesion of materials.SOLUTION: A machine tool apparatus is for molding by injecting materials into a three-dimensional space composed of mutually orthogonal x-axis, y-axis and z-axis, and is provided with an injection nozzle for ejecting materials in the z-axis direction from an injection port, a moving device for moving the injection nozzle in the three-dimensional space, a storage part for storing materials to be injected from the injection nozzle by being moved together with the injection nozzle by the moving device, a transfer part for transferring the materials stored in the storage part to the injection nozzle by being moved together with the injection nozzle by the moving device, and a discharge device for discharging static electricity charged to the materials by discharging ions to the materials stored in the storage part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】造形における材料の供給を自動化することにより造形コストの低減を図るとともに、材料の付着を防止する。【解決手段】工作機械装置は、互いに直交するｘ軸ｙ軸およびｚ軸で構成される３次元の空間に材料を射出して造形する工作機械装置であって、射出口から材料をｚ軸方向に射出する射出ノズルと、射出ノズルを３次元の空間において移動させる移動装置と、移動装置によって射出ノズルとともに移動されて、射出ノズルから射出される材料を貯蔵する貯蔵部と、移動装置によって射出ノズルとともに移動されて、貯蔵部に貯蔵された材料を射出ノズルに移送する移送部と、貯蔵部に貯蔵された材料に対してイオンを放出して材料に帯電した静電気を除電する除電器と、を備える。【選択図】図２
