Original Abstract Submitted

the disclosure provides a method for additive manufacturing, including: a solidified layer forming process, in which a solidified layer is laminated by repeating a process of forming a material layer by supplying a material powder containing a metal material that expands with a tempering treatment, and a process of forming a solidified layer by irradiating the material layer with a laser beam or an electron beam, on a build table adjusted to a manufacturing temperature; and a thermal expansion treatment process, in which each time a predetermined number or a predetermined thickness of the solidified layer is newly formed, the temperature of the solidified layer is raised from the manufacturing temperature to a heating temperature, held for a predetermined time, and then lowered to the manufacturing temperature.
