Abstract: Method for operating an additive manufacturing device of a manufacturing environment comprising one or more additive manufacturing devices, characterised in that data concerning the operation of the at least one additive manufacturing device are transferred from an external data storage device to the at least one additive manufacturing device by means of a separate data connection.

Abstract: A method for the additive manufacturing of at least one component (2) having defined component properties, comprising the steps of: providing at least one certified data record (4) which contains component-specific parameters and/or system-specific parameters and/or process-specific parameters certified by a provider for an additive manufacturing process of at least one specific component (2) having defined component properties, implementing at least one additive manufacturing process for the additive manufacturing of at least one specific component (2) having defined component properties on the basis of the at least one certified data record (4).
