Abstract: A laser calibration device for calibrating an energy beam used in additive manufacturing, the laser calibration device including a body configured to be disposed in an additive manufacturing process chamber; a cover for the body, the cover comprising a plurality of holes; a photodiode; and a coating disposed on the body and configured to optically couple the photodiode with the plurality of holes, wherein the photodiode is configured to sense one or more parameters of the energy beam for determining calibrating instructions for the energy beam.

Abstract: Determination device (9) for determining a scan velocity of an energy beam (5) for an apparatus (1) for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects by means of successive layerwise selective irradiation and consolidation of layers of a build material which can be consolidated by means of an energy beam (5), wherein the determination device (9) comprises a determination unit (10) that is arrangeable or arranged in a process chamber (7) of an apparatus (1) for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects, wherein the determination device (9) is adapted to determine a scan velocity with which the energy beam (5) is guided along a closed scan path (14, 14?) based on the scan time required for guiding the energy beam (5) along the closed scan path (14, 14?).
