Abstract
A sheet manufacturing apparatus can easily adjust the stiffness of sheets made by the sheet manufacturing apparatus. The sheet manufacturing apparatus has a first material supply device that supplies a first material containing fiber; a second material supply device that supplies a second material containing fiber with an average fiber length shorter than the average fiber length of the first material; and a controller configured to control operation of the first material supply device and second material supply device. The controller has a first mode in which the first material is supplied from the first material supply device, and a second mode in which the second material is supplied from the second material supply device, and selects either the first mode or the second mode.
