APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATIVE PRODUCTION OF A COMPONENT
First Claim
1. A method for the generative production of a component (4A, 4B, . . . ), wherein the following steps are repeated multiple times:
- disposal of a starting material layer (2) by movement of a dispensing device (1);
local bonding (3) of this starting material layer to a cross section (4A, 4B, . . . ) of the component being produced; and
displacement of a platform (5) supporting the component being produced counter to a direction of layer buildup;
to produce the component in layers from the starting material;
wherein on the basis of a sensed position or change in position, vibration (z(t)), of the platform, in the direction of layer buildup, it is determined whether the movement of the dispensing device is or is not free of interference.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for the generative production of a component (4A, 4B, . . . ) with a movably dispensing structure (1) for the disposal of a starting material layer (2); a bonding device, such as a laser (3), for the local bonding of this starting material layer to a cross section (4A, 4B, . . . ) of the component being produced; a platform (5) for supporting the component being produced, which can be displaced counter to a direction of layer buildup in a motor-driven manner; a position sensing device (6) for sensing a position or change in position, such as vibration (z(t)), of the platform in the direction of layer buildup with the capability of sensing interference (7) as to whether the movement of the dispensing structure is or is not free of interference on the basis of the sensed position or change in position.

8. An apparatus for the generative production of a component (4A, 4B, . . . ), comprising:
-
a movable dispensing device (1) for the disposal of a starting material layer (2); a bonding device for the local bonding of this starting material layer to a cross section (4A, 4B, . . . ) of the component being produced; and a platform (5) for supporting the component being produced, which can be displaced counter to a direction of layer buildup, particularly in a motor-driven manner; a position sensing device (6) for sensing a position or change in position, vibration (z(t)), of the platform in the direction of layer buildup; and an interference sensing device (7) for sensing whether the movement of the dispensing device is or is not free of interference on the basis of the sensed position or change in position. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
