Abstract
A process and apparatus for forming axially symmetrical bodies from molten metal droplets, where the droplets solidify to form the body on a rotating base, with the base moved in an extraction direction away from a spray plane of the metal droplets. The base is moved, the movement of the base and/or the quantitative flow of the metal droplets is controlled by a controller that communicates with a transmitter-receiver, preferably optical, that determines the position of the spray plane.
