Abstract
The invention relates to a method for providing required construction material information in the context of producing at least one three-dimensional object using a generative layer construction device, having the following steps: accessing data of a layer to be applied in a first data set in which for each layer to be applied during the production process, it is indicated whether construction material is to be solidified selectively in the layer and if so, at which locations in said layer the construction material is to be solidified; dividing the area of the layer to be applied into sub-regions; assigning weighting factors to the sub-regions, and ascertaining a construction material quantity to be supplied to the coating device in order to apply the layer, wherein the construction material quantity is ascertained using the weighting factors assigned to individual sub-regions and is provided as required construction material information.
