  • CONVEYOR DEVICE FOR POWDER CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20260216792
    Abstract: Disclosed is a conveyor device for an apparatus for the additive manufacture of at least one component from a powder construction material by selective solidification of the construction material. For conveying construction material in the apparatus, the conveyor device has a chain-driven conveyor with at least one toothed wheel. At least one inter-tooth region between two adjacent teeth of the toothed wheel includes an escape space for the powder construction material. Also disclosed are an apparatus for the additive manufacture of at least one component and to a method for the additive manufacture of at least one component.
