Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the additive manufacture of components (2), wherein a pulverulent or wire-shaped metal construction material is deposited on a platform (4) in layers, melted using a primary heating device (7), in particular using a laser or electron beam (14), and is heated using an induction heating device (8), which has an alternating voltage supply device (9) with an induction generator (16) and at least one induction coil (10) which can be moved above the platform (4). The induction generator (16) is controlled such that the induction generator is driven with a different output at different specified positions of the at least one induction coil (10). The invention additionally relates to a device, to a control method, and to a storage medium.

Abstract: A method for providing control data for a generative layer construction device has a first step of accessing a data record which, at least for a partial region of an object cross section, specifies in which temporal sequence an energy beam bundle is to be moved in scanning lines over the places of this partial region to scan the buildup material. In a second step, the data record is changed such that in at least one of the layers for the respective partial region of an object cross-section, a check is carried out to determine whether the scan time required to scan the buildup material along a scanning line falls below a predefined minimum duration tmin and either a lower energy density of the energy beam bundle during scanning of the buildup material along this scanning line is specified and/or a wait time is specified before the energy beam bundle is moved along a further scanning line.

Abstract: A method for providing control data to an additive manufacturing device includes a first step of accessing computer-based model data of a partial area of a cross-section of the object, and a second step of generating a data model of the sub-region, by specifying a solidification of the building material by at least one energy beam bundle along at least one solidification path. A plurality of solidification path sections are scanned at least twice with an energy beam bundle and the amount of energy to be introduced during the scanning is specified so that either the amount of energy introduced during the first scanning or a subsequent scanning is is too small to cause a solidification of the building material. In a third step, control data corresponding to the data model generated in the second step are provided for generating a control data set for the additive manufacturing device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for additive production of a component layer of a component including the steps of: generating at least one layer from a powdery component material in the region of a structuring and joining zone; subdividing model data of the layer into virtual sub-regions by a control device; selecting at least one of the virtual sub-regions by the control device; localized heating of at least one heating region in a real sub-region of the layer corresponding with the selected virtual sub-region by a heating device; verifying whether a temperature of the layer has, in a predetermined inspection region, a predetermined minimum temperature; and localized solidifying of the layer in a predetermined solidifying region by selective irradiation by at least one energy beam of an energy source, if the layer has the predetermined minimum temperature in the inspection region.
