Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for measuring an additive manufacturing apparatus, in which a measuring system comprising a measuring plate and a measuring bridge is provided, the measuring bridge comprising at least one distance measuring sensor. In an initial state, the measuring bridge rests on the measuring plate and a first distance between the measuring bridge and a first surface point on the measuring plate is measured. In a measuring state, the measuring bridge is in a predetermined pose with respect to a process chamber of the manufacturing apparatus and the measuring plate is movable in relation to the process chamber by a drive system of the manufacturing apparatus. In the measuring state, a distance is measured in order to record a difference between the first distance and a second distance between the measuring bridge and a second surface point on the measuring plate. A measuring system and a manufacturing apparatus are also described.

A method for controlling the operation of a sifting device comprises the step (i) of supplying powder (56) to be sifted to a sifter through a powder inlet (22) and the step (ii) of driving the sifter for a first period of time at a first driving power, the first driving power being dimensioned in such a way that, during continuous driving of the sifter at the first driving power, the powder (56) to be sifted flows over an entire sifting surface of the sifter and/or into an oversized particle outlet (32). After the first period of time has expired, the sifter is driven in a step (iii) for a second period of time at a second driving power which is lower than the first driving power. After the second period of time has expired, steps (ii) and (iii) are repeated.

Abrégé

A manufacturing process includes fusing an area of a material layer with beams from multiple sources, each of which has a predefined fuse rate and a field of view. Efficiency of fusing is increased by estimating optimum fusing times with the use of size of the area to and fuse rates involved, determining optimum size of the area to be fused, and determining those vectors of the area that could be irradiated and fused by a given of the multiple sources. As a result, the set of locations at the area is determined that can be fused by a given source almost exactly within the optimum fusing time. Vectors representing the area are then compared to products of optimum fusing times and corresponding fuse rates and, if a vector and a corresponding product are in a predetermined relationship, a subset of the vector is selected for irradiation by identified source.

In a method of operating an irradiation system (10) for irradiating layers of a raw material powder with electromagnetic or particle radiation in order to produce a three-dimensional work piece (110) it is determined whether a region of a raw material powder layer (11) to be selectively irradiated with electromagnetic or particle radiation in accordance with a geometry of a corresponding layer of the work piece (110) to be produced is affected or substantially unaffected by particulate impurities. Upon selectively irradiating the region of the raw material powder layer (11) with electromagnetic or particle radiation, an energy density applied to the region of the raw material powder layer (11) by a radiation beam (14a, 14b) is controlled in such a manner that the energy density is higher in case it is determined that the region of the raw material powder layer (11) is affected by particulate impurities than in case it is determined that the region of the raw material powder layer (11) is substantially unaffected by particulate impurities.

The apparatus comprises an irradiation unit comprising at least one scanning unit configured to scan a radiation beam over an uppermost layer of raw material powder to predetermined sites of the uppermost layer of the raw material powder in order to solidify the raw material powder at the predetermined sites. An axis corresponding to the radiation beam when it impinges on the uppermost layer of raw material powder at an angle of 90° is defined as a central axis for the scanning unit. The apparatus further comprises a control unit configured to receive work piece data indicative of at least one layer of the three-dimensional work piece to be produced, and assign at least a part of a contour of the layer of the three-dimensional work piece to the at least one scanning unit. According to a first aspect, the control unit is configured to generate control data for controlling the irradiation unit, the control data defining a scan strategy of the radiation beam such that for more than 50% of a predefined length, the radiation beam moves away from the central axis, the predefined length being defined as a length the radiation beam moves along the contour assigned to the at least one scanning unit, excluding sections concentric with regard to the central axis. Further, corresponding methods and computer program products are provided.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional workpiece. The method comprises irradiating a raw material layer with a laser beam, wherein a melt bath is produced at a point at which the laser beam impinges on the raw material layer, changing a position of the laser beam on the raw material layer with the aid of a first diverting unit and changing the position of the laser beam on the raw material layer with the aid of a second diverting unit. The second diverting unit is designed to divert the position of the laser beam with a greater acceleration than a maximum possible acceleration of a diversion by the first diverting unit. The invention also relates to a device for producing a three-dimensional workpiece.

Abrégé

In a method for treating combustible and/or reactive particles (34) which have been separated from a gas stream (32) by means of a separation device (36) an oxidizing agent is supplied to an atmosphere surrounding the particles (34) so as to cause a passivating oxidation of at least a part of the particles (34). A content of the oxidizing agent in the atmosphere surrounding the particles (34) is detected and the supply of the oxidizing agent to the atmosphere surrounding the particles (34) is controlled in dependence on the detected content of the oxidizing agent in the atmosphere surrounding the particles (34).

Abrégé

An apparatus for producing three-dimensional work pieces is provided. The apparatus comprises a carrier configured to receive multiple layers of raw material, and an irradiation unit configured to generate a radiation beam and to direct the radiation beam to predetermined sites of an uppermost layer of the raw material in order to solidify the raw material at the predetermined sites. The irradiation unit comprises a radiation source configured to generate the radiation beam, a first scanning unit configured to receive the radiation beam and to scan the radiation beam over a first irradiation area of the uppermost layer of the raw material, a second scanning unit configured to receive the radiation beam and to scan the radiation beam over a second irradiation area of the uppermost layer of the raw material, and a switching unit configured to direct the radiation beam generated by the radiation source to the first scanning unit or the second scanning unit. The apparatus further comprises a control unit configured to perform control of the switching unit to switch from a first switching state, in which the radiation beam is directed to the first scanning unit and not to the second scanning unit, to a second switching state, in which the radiation beam is directed to the second scanning unit and not to the first scanning unit.
