Abstract: A method and device for generating control data for an additive manufacturing device are described, wherein build-up material is built up and selectively solidified. Irradiating the build-up material on a build field with at least one energy beam occurs An impingement surface of the energy beam is moved on the build field in order to melt the build-up material in a target area in and around the impingement surface. For generating the control data, optimization criteria and/or secondary and/or boundary conditions relating to a local target temperature distribution in the target area of the build-up material are defined so that melting of the build-up material is effected as heat conduction welding. Based on this, an optimized intensity profile of the energy beam is determined, which is substantially non-rotationally symmetric at the impingement surface on the build field.
