Classification: CPC B  Y | IPC B

Claim 0:
1. A fabricating apparatus comprising:
a powder layer forming device configured to form a powder layer;
a fabrication liquid discharge device configured to discharge fabrication liquid onto the powder layer; and
processing circuitry configured to
control the powder layer forming device to form the powder layer, and
control the fabrication liquid discharge device to discharge the fabrication liquid with a first kinetic energy and then discharge the fabrication liquid with a second kinetic energy higher than the first kinetic energy,

wherein the processing circuitry is configured to control discharge of the fabrication liquid discharge device such that, when n is a natural number and any droplet of the fabrication liquid is an n-th droplet, a kinetic energy of the n-th droplet is lower than a kinetic energy of an (n+1)-th droplet.
