  • Patent number: 10071526
    Abstract: An adaptation method for a modelling method in which, by means of target geometry, model geometry, which is derived from the target geometry, is created for an object to be produced by a selective laser melting method is provided. In the adaptation method, adapted model geometry is produced from the derived model geometry by dimension adaptation by means of a correction factor and/or by geometry adaptation by means of correction geometry.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10035304
    Abstract: The invention relates to a beam melting installation and method for producing components thereof, in which a component to be produced is produced layer-wise, wherein, a coating slide moves across a build platform, a powder layer is applied onto the build platform and already produced component layers by a blade fastened on the coating slide, and melt traces are subsequently inscribed in the powder layer by means of a directed beam, so that the powder melts in the melt trace and bonds to underlying component layers, wherein, during the travel of the coating slide in order to apply a new powder layer, perturbations of the travel of the coating slide or components connected thereto are metrologically detected, and in particular the beam melting installation is controlled and/or regulated as a function of the detected measured values. The invention furthermore relates to a device for retrofitting beam melting installations.
