Abstract: A method and system for additively manufacturing a three-dimensional component from multiple component layers (Li, Lk) by repeated incremental addition in layers of a metallic component starting material, and in incremental, shaping consolidation of the component starting material by respectively selective melting and/or sintering by means of an amount of heat introduced by at least one energy source according to a scanning strategy, the method including dividing each component layer into segments, wherein the division of a component layer into segments, the time sequence of the creation of individual segments, the layout of the scanning vectors within a segment, and/or the time sequence of the scanning vectors within a segment in the creation of respective segmented component layers takes place on the basis of a determined local heat dissipating capability or on the basis of a function of the same in a respective component layer.
