Abstract
The invention relates to a plausibility checking method for rapid prototyping devices, in particular for stereolithography devices. In this connection, input data () is checked which is present particularly in the form of graphics data and of which every file renders a layer. Every layer comprises a plurality of pixels. The component to be printed in the respective layer is produced based on output data by the rapid prototyping device. The input data of two consecutive layers is checked and the sum of all pixels to be exposed is determined for every layer. A signal () is output in particular as a warning signal () when the pixel sum of a following layer is larger than in the previous layer by a predetermined factor.
