Disclosed is a method and device for generating additive manufacturing control data. The control data are generated such that the energy beam has an intensity distribution, at the area of incidence on the build field, in a see tion plane running perpendicularly to the beam axis of the energy beam, which intensity distribution

Method and device for generating control data for an additive manufacturing device

A method and device for generating control data for an additive manufacturing device are described, wherein build-up material is built up and selectively solidified. Irradiating the build-up material on a build field with at least one energy beam occurs An impingement surface of the energy beam is moved on the build field in order to melt the build-up material in a target area in and around the impingement surface. For generating the control data, optimization criteria and/or secondary and/or boundary conditions relating to a local target temperature distribution in the target area of the build-up material are defined so that melting of the build-up material is effected as heat conduction welding. Based on this, an optimized intensity profile of the energy beam is determined, which is substantially non-rotationally symmetric at the impingement surface on the build field.

Disclosed is a method of providing control data for an additive manufacturing device. The method includes accessing computer-based model data of at least a portion of the object to be manufactured, generating at least one data model of a region of a building material layer to be selectively solidified for manufacturing the at least one object portion. The data model specifies solidification of the building material, and the end point of the at least one solidification path a set of energy introduction parameter values is specified which generates a reference value for the radiation power per unit area in the radiation impact area of the beam bundle on the building material which is lower than the reference value for the radiation power per unit area at other locations of the solidification path, and providing control data corresponding to the generated at least one data model for generating a control data set for the additive manufacturing device.
