Claim 0:
1. A shaping apparatus that forms a three-dimensional shaped object, the apparatus comprising:
a Directed Energy Deposition (DED)-type shaping system that has a beam irradiation section which emits a beam to form a molten pool and a material supply section which supplies shaping material to an area irradiated with the beam by the beam irradiation section; and
a controller that controls the Directed Energy Deposition (DED)-type shaping system, wherein
the beam irradiation section includes at least one movable mirror,
the controller is configured to:
control the beam irradiation section to irradiate a first area with a first beam to form the molten pool and irradiate a second area which is different from the first area with a second beam,
control the beam irradiation section to irradiate the first area with the first beam to form the molten pool and irradiate the second area which is different from the first area with the second beam by moving the movable mirror, and
perform a shaping by controlling the material supply section to supply the shaping material to at least the first area having the molten boot which is irradiated with the first beam.
