Abstract:
A plasticizing device includes: a drive motor; a rotating unit driven to rotate about a rotation axis by the drive motor and having an end surface perpendicular to the rotation axis; a barrel having a bottom surface facing the end surface of the rotating unit, and a heater; and a material supply unit supplying the material between the rotating unit and the barrel. At the bottom surface of the barrel, a first communication hole through which the molten material flows out, a first groove part coupled to the first communication hole, a second communication hole through which the molten material flows out, and a second groove part coupled to the second communication hole are formed.
