Abstract
Method for building up an object () by means of a coordinate measuring machine (), wherein the coordinate measuring machine () has at least one control unit and one drive unit for the controlled movement of an instrument carrier () in relation to a base () and the instrument carrier () is implemented for carrying at least one measuring sensor and production tool (-), which are each modularly attachable in particular, both alone in each case or in combination. In the scope of the method, based on digital model data which represent the object (), controlled guiding and in particular alignment of the production tool (-) carried in this case by the instrument carrier () and precisely-positioned material application and/or fixation, controlled in dependence on a respective production tool position and in particular alignment, by means of the production tool (-) are performed, in particular wherein building up the object () is performed by layer-by-layer material application and/or fixation.
