A device for manufacturing a three-dimensional object by a layer-wise solidification of a building material in powder form at positions in the respective layers corresponding to the object is disclosed. The device comprises: a container () arranged in the device; a support device (), which can be vertically moved in the container, wherein the upper side of the support device () forms a building platform (), on which the three-dimensional object is generated layer-wise; an application device () for applying building material in powder form onto the building platform and a previously solidified layer, respectively; and an energy source () that provides a beam () for solidifying the building material in powder form. In a region below the container () in the device () outlets () are provided, wherein from each of the outlets () a directed flow of a fluid medium escapes in a directed manner to peripheral regions of the container ().
