    摘要: An additive manufacturing apparatus may include a process chamber, a coating device, a shielding device, and a guiding device. The process chamber may include first and second working plane areas. The first working plane area may include a construction plane, and the second working plane area may house at least a part of the guiding device. The coating device may include a coating element assembly group that is, movably supported relative to the construction plane by the guiding device, and at least one coating element configured to form construction material layers in the construction plane. The shielding device may shield the second working plane area from intrusion of construction material or impurities from the first working plane area. The shielding device may include a shielding band, and the shielding band may be coupled for movement with the coating element assembly group. The shielding band may be guided movably along a plurality of supporting points that define an interior region of the second working plane area, and the guiding device may be arranged or formed above the first working plane area.

    摘要: An apparatus (1) for additive manufacturing of three-dimensional objects (3) by successive, selective layer-by-layer exposure and thus successive, selective layer-by-layer solidification of construction material layers of construction material (4) that can be solidified by means of an energy beam. The apparatus can include a process chamber (14) comprising a working plane (A) with a first working plane area (A1) and another working plane area (A2), a coating device (6) provided for forming construction material layers to be exposed selectively and to be solidified selectively in the construction plane (E) and comprising a coating element assembly group (8) which is movably supported, at least one coating element, a shielding device (18) provided for shielding the second working plane area (A2), wherein the shielding device (18) can include at least one shielding band (20) guided movably along supporting points (19).
