Abstract: A metering device serves as an equipping or retrofitting kit for a device for producing a three-dimensional object by means of solidifying, layer by layer, a building material in powder form at those positions that correspond to the cross-section of the object to be produced in the respective layer. The metering device has a metering element, which metering element is rotatable about an axis, preferably an axis of its own, particularly preferably about an, in particular its own, longitudinal axis and which is suitable for dispensing the building material in powder form in a metered manner. The metering element is designed to dispense locally different amounts of powder along the direction of the axis.
