APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT BY MEANS OF A COATING DEVICE FOR POWDERED STRUCTURAL MATERIAL

摘要

Coating device comprises a first longitudinal wall (41a) and a second longitudinal wall (41b) joined together, a unit (42) for fluidizing powdered material with a gas fed to the coating device and a unit (50) for controlling and/or regulating the pressure and/or volume stream of the gas. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) Device for producing a three-dimensional object by strain hardening layers produced by the coating device; and (2) Method for producing a three-dimensional object.
