Abstract: A device for producing a three-dimensional shaped object, including a substrate part having a base surface for holding the shaped object, a first reservoir for holding a flowable first material, a second reservoir for holding a flowable second material, a dispensing mechanism for dispensing material portions of the first material, a material application mechanism including an application roll and a coating mechanism for applying a second material layer of the second material, and a fixation mechanism for solidifying the material layers composed of the first material and the second material. The transfer body rotates about an axis of rotation disposed parallel to the base surface, the dispensing mechanism and the application roll r relative to the substrate part about an axis disposed normal to the base surface, the application roll is conical, and an axis of rotation of the application roll intersects the axis disposed normal to the base surface.

Abstract: A device for applying flowable material to a substratum rotated about an axis of rotation, in accordance with image data stored as pixels or vectors of a Cartesian coordinate grid in a first memory, has at least one printing head for discharging material drops of the flowable material, and is arranged above the substratum, and a controller for positioning the substratum in relation to the printing head and controlling the discharge of the material drops. In a second memory, special polar coordinate grid points arranged on circular lines and on first rays having a first angular distance and, in the direction of origin, on further rays having an angular distance from each other that is greater than the first angular distance are stored. The special polar coordinate grid points are transformed into coordinates of the Cartesian coordinate system, and are compared with the pixels of the image file.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional shaped object without height limitation by means of layer-by-layer material application, wherein geometric data for the shaped object, a substrate part having a base surface for holding the shaped object, flowable first and second material, and a transfer body are provided. Material portions of the flowable first material are applied to the base surface and/or to a solidified material layer of the three-dimensional shaped object located on the base surface in accordance with the geometric data in order to produce a material layer of the three-dimensional shaped object. The material layer consisting of the first material is solidified.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for applying flowable material to a substratum (3), which can be rotated about an axis of rotation (4), in accordance with specified image data, which are stored as pixels or as vectors of a certain Cartesian coordinate grid in a first memory (18), has at least one printing head (13A, 13B), which has a plurality of nozzles arranged at a nozzle distance from each other for discharging material drops of the flowable material and is arranged at a vertical distance from the substratum, and a controller (8) for positioning the substratum (3) in relation to the at least one printing head (13A, 13B) and the discharge of the material drops.
