Claim 14:
15. 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 including an optical system which emits a beam and a material supply section which supplies shaping material to an area irradiated with the beam by the beam irradiation section;
a movement system that is configured to move a target portion which is shaped by the Directed Energy Deposition (DED)-type shaping system; and
a controller that controls the Directed Energy Deposition (DED)-type shaping system and the movement system, wherein
the beam irradiation section includes a movable reflection member,
the controller controls the movement system so that the target portion moves in a first direction in a predetermined plane,
the beam irradiation section is configured to irradiate a position which is away from an optical axis of the optical system in the predetermined plane with the beam by moving at least a part of the movable reflection member.
