Disclosed is a method for monitoring a generative fabrication process in which a component is formed in an installation space from a multiplicity of layers by using a three-dimensional data model and a following layer is fixed to a preceding layer by means of a high-energy beam. The method comprises detecting the component at least optically and detecting the installation space thermally during layer application. Also disclosed is a device for carrying out the method.

Method and device for process monitoring

The invention relates to a generative production method for producing a component by selectively melting and/or sintering a powder several times consecutively by introducing an amount of heat by means of beam energy, such that the powder particles melt and/or sinter in layers, wherein the powder particles () are made of a first material () and the powder particles are surrounded by a second material () partially or over the entire surface thereof, wherein the second material has a lower melting point than the first material and/or lowers the melting point of the first material when mixed with the first material. The invention further relates to a corresponding powder and to a prototype produced from said powder.
