METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional object. The object (3) is formed in a container (1, 200) that is arranged in a processing chamber (100). The object is formed on a carrier (4) which can be displaced in said container. Forming is carried out by successively and selectively consolidating layers of a powdery material (11) at locations which match with the cross-section of the object in the respective layer. Said material can be consolidated under the influence of electromagnetic or corpuscular radiation. The method is characterised by the of removing non-consolidated powdery material (11) in a controlled manner after the object (3) has been produced.
