Abstract
An electric wire manufacturing method includes a step of placing a core wire having a plurality of strands inside a tubular member capable of transmitting laser light, and a step of forming a joined portion where the strands are joined together by emitting laser light along a direction intersecting an axial direction of the tubular member onto an outer circumferential surface of the core wire placed inside the tubular member. The tubular member is, for example, transparent. The laser light transmitted through the tubular member may be emitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the core wire in the step of forming the joined portion.
