  • Method and control command generating unit for an automatic generation of control commands of an additive layer-wise building device
    Patent number: 11207837
    Abstract: A method for providing control commands for producing a number of three-dimensional objects by an additive layer-wise building device. The method can include a step of providing a computer-based model of the number of objects that geometrically describes the objects, a step of modifying the computer-based model such that for the geometric description of the number of objects a location is defined as a common origin of coordinates, and a step of generating control commands for a set of control commands for controlling the production of the number of objects by the additive layer-wise building device on the basis of the modified computer-based model.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATIVELY MANUFACTURING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL CODED CHARACTER
    Publication number: 20120203365
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and to a device for generatively manufacturing a three-dimensional object (3). A powdery material (11) is applied layerwise onto a support (5) of the device or onto a previously applied layer, and the powdery material (11) is solidified by energetic radiation (8?) at locations corresponding to the object (3). The powdery material (11) is solidified such that a digital, machine readable and three-dimensional coded character is provided at a surface of the object (3).
