Abstract: A device for selective laser melting of a near-? Ti alloy includes a coating device for applying layers of the near-? Ti alloy on a substrate panel in a layer arrangement. The layers are arranged on top of one another. The device further includes a laser beam source for providing a laser beam for melting at least parts of the layers, and a heating unit configured to heat an uppermost layer of the layer arrangement in a direction from the substrate panel to the layer arrangement, after application of the uppermost layer and before irradiation of the uppermost layer with the laser beam, to a temperature in a temperature range of 250° C. to 600° C.
