  • Transport unit and preparation of a three-dimensional component
    Patent number: 11420392
    Abstract: A transport unit for transporting an additively manufactured three-dimensional component including a transfer interface which can be closed in a substantially gastight manner for the three-dimensional component and/or a container containing the three-dimensional component and/or a platform carrying the three-dimensional component, which transfer interface is configured and disposed so that it cooperates with an output interface of an additive manufacturing machine which has manufactured the three-dimensional component within the framework of a component transfer as intended and when a connection is made as intended between the transfer interface and output interface a substantially gastight connection can be produced, and a storage chamber for storing the component and/or the container and/or the platform in a substantially gastight sealed state towards the outside.
