Embodiment Construction

[0020] figure 1 The shown laser sintering device has an upwardly open container 1 with a vertically movable support 2 which supports an object 3 to be formed and delimits a building area. The support 2 is arranged vertically such that the respective layer of the object to be solidified is located in the working plane 4 . Furthermore, a coating machine 5 is provided for applying a powdery structural material 3 a curable by electromagnetic radiation. The coating machine 5 is supplied with structural material 3 a from a storage container 6 . The device also has a laser 7 which generates a laser beam 7 a which is deflected by a deflection device 8 onto an input window 9 through which it enters the processing chamber 10 and is focused on a predetermined point in the working plane 4 .

[0021] A control unit 11 is also provided, by means of which the individual components of the device are controlled in a coordinated manner in order to carry out the manufacturing process.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional object by selectively compacting layers of a powdery material (3a) in the areas corresponding to the cross-section of the object (3) in the respective layer, by applying electromagnetic radiation (7a). The powder used is a plastic powder, preferably polyamide. After the production of the object, the non-compacted powder (3a') is subjected to a water or vapour treatment at a higher temperature, is subsequently dried and then is used again to produce a new object.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for the layered production of three-dimensional objects from powder materials. In particular, the invention relates to a method for selective laser sintering, hereinafter referred to simply as "laser sintering method", and a laser sintering device, with which it is possible to economically and environmentally Plastic powders make three-dimensional objects. Background technique [0002] A laser sintering method and a laser sintering device according to claims 1 and the preamble of claim 9 are known, for example, from DE 101 05 504 A1. In this method, in particular plastic powders, such as polyamide, are used. Particularly suitable, as described in EP 0911142, is a polyamide 12 with a melting point of 185-189° C., an enthalpy of fusion of 112±17 kJ / mol and a solidification temperature of 138-143° C. The average particle size of the powder is 50-150 μm. [0003] In this known method, a defined amount of r...
