摘要: An additive manufacturing method including repeatedly applying a layer of building material on a previously selectively solidified building material layer and scanning the layer at positions corresponding to the cross-section of the object in this layer, where the laser radiation is generated by a laser light source and is directed onto the building material layer via optical components. An optics compartment is encased by an optics compartment housing and accommodates the optical components. A defined gas atmosphere is maintained inside of the optics compartment, wherein the relative humidity of the defined gas atmosphere is kept below 3%.

摘要: A recoating unit (40) serves for equipping or retrofitting a device (1) for additive manufacturing of a three-dimensional object (2) by selectively solidifying a building material (15), preferably a powder, layer by layer. The device (1) comprises a recoater (16) movable across a build area (8) for applying a layer (31b, 32b) of the building material (15) within the build area (8) and a solidification device (20) for selectively solidifying the applied layer (31b, 32b) at positions corresponding to a cross-section of the object (2) to be manufactured. The device (1) is formed and/or controlled to repeat the steps of applying and selectively solidifying until the object (2) is completed. The recoating unit (40) comprises at least two recoating rollers (41, 42) spaced apart from each other in a first direction (B1) and extending into a second direction transversely, preferably perpendicularly, to the first direction, and a compacting and/or smoothing element (45) arranged between the two recoating rollers (41, 42) in the first direction (B1) and extending into the second direction. The recoating unit (40) is adapted to draw-out building material to a regular layer (31a, 32a), depending on the movement of the recoating unit into the first direction (B1) or into its reverse direction (B2), using the recoating roller (41, 42) arranged ahead in the respective moving direction (B1, B2), and to compact or smoothen the layer (31a, 32a) drawn-out by the recoating roller (41, 42) arranged ahead using the compacting and/or smoothing element (45).

摘要: A method for producing a three-dimensional object by layer-wise applying and selectively solidifying a building material in powder form includes the steps of applying a layer of the building material over a working plane and selectively solidifying the layer at positions that correspond to a cross-section of the object to be produced by introducing energy and repeating the steps of applying and selectively solidifying until the object is completed. By doing so, the application step is carried out such that the application device moves at least twice over an area to be coated without an intermediate irradiation, and the step of selectively solidifying is carried out with an irradiation device that emits a radiation suited to solidify the building material.

摘要: A powder mixture is described, which is suitable for a layer-wise manufacturing of a three-dimensional object by solidifying a building material in powder form. The powder mixture consists of a mixture of a first polyamide 12 powder and a second polyamide 12 powder, wherein the first polyamide 12 powder is characterized by an increase of its viscosity number determined in accordance with ISO 307 that is less than 10%, when the powder is exposed for 20 hours to a temperature that lies 10° C. below its melting temperature under nitrogen atmosphere, and the second polyamide 12 powder is characterized by an increase of its viscosity number, determined in accordance with ISO 307, by 15% or more, when the powder is exposed for 20 hours to a temperature that lies 10° C. below its melting temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. In particular, the proportion of the first polyamide 12 powder in the mixture must lie between 10 and 30 percent by weight for obtaining manufactured objects that do not only have good mechanical properties, but also do show a small warpage and a high surface quality.

摘要: Disclosed is a method for providing control data for an additive manufacture device having a first step of accessing model data, and a second step of generating a data model in which a construction material layer region to be solidified during the production of an object section is specified for a construction material layer. The region to be solidified is divided into a first sub-region and a second sub-region, and a respective solidification scan of the region locations to be solidified is specified in a data model. The scan solidifying the construction material, and a repeated scan, is specified at the locations of the second sub-region but not at the locations of the first sub-region. The energy input parameter during the repeat scan is measured such that the temperature of the construction material lies above a melting temperature. The method further includes a third step of providing data models generated in the second step as control data for integrating into a control data set.

摘要: A manufacturing method for generatively manufacturing a three-dimensional object by a layer-by-layer application and selective solidification of a building material includes applying a layer of the building material within a build area by means of a recoater moving in a recoating direction across the build area, selectively solidifying the applied layer of the building material at points corresponding to a cross-section of the object to be manufactured by means of a solidification device, and repeating the steps of applying and solidifying until the three-dimensional object is completed. A local action confined to a region between the recoating unit moving across the build area and the solidification device and/or compaction device moving behind the recoating unit across the build area is performed on the applied layer of the building material.
