Abstract

A fiber structure manufacturing apparatus includes: a defibrated material supplying unit that supplies a defibrated material obtained by defibrating a material that contains fibers; a resin supplying unit that supplies resin fibers; a mixing unit that produces a mixture by mixing the defibrated material with the resin fibers; an accumulation unit; a shape molding unit; and a control unit that controls operation of the resin supplying unit, wherein the resin supplying unit includes a fragmenting unit that produces resin fiber fragments by performing fragmentation of a cotton-like lump of the resin fibers, a reservoir unit that stores the resin fiber fragments, and a measurement unit that measures a weight or volume of the resin fiber fragments discharged from the reservoir unit, and based on a measurement result of the measurement unit, the control unit adjusts an amount of discharging the resin fiber fragments from the reservoir unit.
