  • Patent number: 11712852
    Abstract: A device for an adjustment of a heater control includes a nominal parameter provision unit designed such that it provides at least one nominal parameter value, an actual parameter detection unit designed such that it is able to detect for at least one of the nominal parameter values the corresponding actual parameter value in a heater control or in an additive manufacturing device, wherein an actual parameter value is the actual value of a controlled variable and/or the actual value of its change with time and/or the actual value of a heater parameter and/or the actual value of its change with time, and a control change unit that automatically changes at least one control parameter value, if a predefined difference between the nominal parameter value and its corresponding actual parameter value is exceeded.

  • Patent number: 10953601
    Abstract: A device for an adjustment of a heater control in an additive manufacturing device, in which a heater control regulates the heating of an applied building material layer by means of a heating device (17) up to a work temperature (TA) comprises: a nominal parameter provision unit (201) designed such that it provides at least one nominal parameter value, meaning the setpoint of a controlled variable and/or its change with time and/or the setpoint of a heater parameter and/or its change with time, an actual parameter detection unit (202) designed such that it is able to detect for at least one of the nominal parameter values the corresponding actual parameter value in the heater control or in the additive manufacturing device, wherein an actual parameter value is the actual value of a controlled variable and/or the actual value of its change with time and/or the actual value of a heater parameter and/or the actual value of its change with time, and a control change unit (203) that automatically changes at lea

  • 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).
