PCT No. PCT/EP95/01742 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 23, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 23, 1996 PCT Filed May 9, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/31326 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 23, 1995When producing an object by subsequent solidification of material layers 1 at places corresponding to the object there is a problem of limited production speed because the scanning speed or laser power of the light beam scanning the material layer 1 cannot be increased at will, if the light beam 4 used for solidification is focused as required for exact resolution. According to the invention this problem is solved by providing a variable focusing device 8 in the light beam 4, whereby the focus of the light beam 4 can be varied during the solidification of the layer 1. Thus, a different focus, laser power and scanning speed can be used in different regions of the layer 1. |
