Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining individual vectors for open-loop and/or closed-loop control of at least one energy beam of a layering apparatus, comprising at least the steps of: providing layer data characterizing at least one component layer of a component to be additively manufactured, on the basis of the layer data, determining individual vectors, according to which at least one energy beam is to be moved relative to a construction and joining zone of the layering apparatus in order to solidify a material powder selectively to the component layer, determining at least one node point of a plurality of individual vectors, and adapting at least one property of at least one individual vector of the at least one node point, the at least one property being selected from a group comprising spatial orientation, radiation sequence in relation to at least one other individual vector, and vector length.
