  • Patent number: 11822310
    Abstract: A method for providing control data for a generative layer construction device includes accessing layer data records that have data models of buildup material layers to be selectively solidified, where a base surface region of an object cross section exists in at least one layer data record, where in at least one of p layers below the base surface region, no solidification of buildup material is specified. The method further includes changing the layer data record such that a temporal sequence for scanning the associated object cross section with energy radiation is specified such that at least one portion of the base surface region is scanned before all other parts of the object cross section; and a third step, where the changed layer data record is provided for the generation of a control data record for the device.

  • Patent number: 11230051
    Abstract: A method for providing control data for a generative layer construction device has a first step of accessing a data record which, at least for a partial region of an object cross section, specifies in which temporal sequence an energy beam bundle is to be moved in scanning lines over the places of this partial region to scan the buildup material. In a second step, the data record is changed such that in at least one of the layers for the respective partial region of an object cross-section, a check is carried out to determine whether the scan time required to scan the buildup material along a scanning line falls below a predefined minimum duration tmin and either a lower energy density of the energy beam bundle during scanning of the buildup material along this scanning line is specified and/or a wait time is specified before the energy beam bundle is moved along a further scanning line.

  • Patent number: 9679793
    Abstract: The invention concerns an optical monitoring system for the measurement of layer thicknesses of thin coatings applied in a vacuum, particularly on moving substrates, during the coating process, in which the light intensity of the light of a light source injected into a reference light guide and released by a first piezoelectric or electrostrictive or magnetostrictive light chopper is registered by a light detector unit in a reference phase, the light of the light source in a measuring phase is injected into a first measuring light guide and the light released by a second piezoelectric or electrostrictive or magnetostrictive light chopper is directed to the substrate, and the light intensity of the light reflected or transmitted from the substrate is registered by the light detector unit through a second measuring light guide, and a remaining light intensity is registered by the light detector unit in at least one dark phase, wherein the reference phase, the measuring phase, and the dark phase are shifted in t
