1. Device for manufacturing of products with individual geometry, in particular tooth replacement or dental parts, comprising:

  • a substrate carrier devicea material application device being movable relatively to the substrate carrier device for application of material, preferably above the substrate carrier device,a control device being coupled to the material application device for transmitting signals,characterized byan input interface being coupled to the control device for transmitting signals for selecting between a first and a second application mode, andcharacterized in that said control device and said application device are adaptedto manufacture in a first application mode a three-dimensional product by means of an additive manufacturing method on the surface of a substrate plate being connected to said substrate carrier device, byapplying a curable material in consecutive layers,selectively curing one or a plurality of predetermined regions after or during each layer application and thereby connecting these predetermined regions with one or a plurality of regions in the underlying layer,wherein the predetermined region(s) are predetermined on the basis of a cross-sectional geometry of the product in the respective layer and stored in the control device, andwherein the curable material is applied in a plurality of consecutive layers for manufacturing the three-dimensional product;

    andto apply in the second application mode one or a plurality of colors to predetermined regions of a print carrier connected with the substrate carrier device for establishing a single-colored or multi-colored print.
