Abstract

To provide a powder for additive manufacturing that has good fluidity and filling properties and can form a dense powder layer, and an additively manufactured body having such a powder. [Solution] A powder for additive manufacturing used in the manufacture of additively manufactured bodies, wherein, in the cumulative particle size distribution on a volume basis obtained using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer, the particle size D50 at which the cumulative frequency from the smallest diameter side is 50% is 1.0 μm or more and 10.0 μm or less, and the particle size D90 at which the cumulative frequency from the smallest diameter side is 90% is 11.0 μm or more and 25.0 μm or less, and the specific surface area is 0.30 m². 2 A powder for additive manufacturing characterized by having a particle size of less than or equal to / g, a particle number ratio of 70.0% or more with a circularity of 0.750 or more and a coefficient of variation of 15.0% or less obtained by dividing the standard deviation of particle circularity by the mean circularity.
