METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT COMPRISING A FIBER FEED

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a three-dimensional object (50) made of a material that can be solidified and that in the initial state is either present as a liquid or can be liquefied. For this purpose, the material that can be solidified is introduced into a material reservoir (18) in the liquid phase of said material. From there, the material is generatively discharged via an outlet opening of a discharge unit (12) in the direction of an object holder (13) for the three-dimensional object (50) to be produced. The object holder (13) or the three-dimensional object (50) and the discharge unit (12) can be moved relative to one another within the space. By feeding at least one continuous fiber element (61) at a distance from the outlet opening (12a) for the material that can be solidified to the object (50) and embedding said element at the three-dimensional object to be produced into the discharged material to be solidified simultaneously with discharging the material that can be solidified, the generative method provides for a method and a device for producing a three-dimensional object with improved material properties.
