  • Patent number: 11667082
    Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a three-dimensional object by a layer-by-layer solidification of building material at the points corresponding to the cross-section of the object to be manufactured in a respective layer. The apparatus includes a process chamber in which the object is to be built up layer by layer by selectively solidifying layers of a building material in a build area, a gas supply device, and a recirculating air filter device, wherein the apparatus comprises a pressure stabilization device configured to keep the pressure in the process chamber substantially constant.

  • Patent number: 11141923
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of determining a quality indicator of an object that has been manufactured by layer-wise additive manufacturing. The method includes providing a first dataset that is assigned to a process monitoring device, detecting a relative frequency of occurrence of a process irregularity in a layer and of assigning a grade indicator value to the solidified object cross-section in a layer according to the detected relative frequency, generating a second dataset, in which a grade indicator value is assigned to the object cross-section in each of said several layers following upon one another, and determining a quality indicator by using the second dataset (or several further datasets).

  • Patent number: 10946581
    Abstract: Method for calibrating an apparatus for manufacturing a three-dimensional object by layer-wise selective solidification of building material with the step of generating an substantially periodic first modulation pattern in a first sub-area of the build area, the step of generating an substantially periodic second modulation pattern in a second sub-area of the build area, wherein in the overlap zone, the first modulation pattern and the second modulation pattern form an substantially periodic superposition pattern, whose period is larger than the period of the first modulation pattern and the period of the second modulation pattern, the step of detecting the superposition pattern, and the step of determining the deviation of the position of the superposition pattern on the build area from a reference position.

  • Patent number: 10682700
    Abstract: A device is disclosed for producing a three-dimensional object by layerwise construction. The device contains a flow device for generating a gas flow above an applied layer of the building material by means of a nozzle element for introducing the gas into the device. The nozzle element includes a body with a gas inlet side and a gas outlet side, and channels which penetrate the body from the gas inlet side to the gas outlet side, provided with inlet openings on the gas inlet side and gas outlet openings on the gas outlet side, and which are separated by walls. The length of the channels is selected such that a laminar flow is formed at the gas outlet side.
