Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the layered manufacturing of a structural component from powder, comprising the following steps: establishing at least one parameter (t) of a depression (1) in a produced layer (2) of the structural component; smoothing out the depression (1) if the at least one parameter (t) exceeds a predetermined value; and filling the smoothed-out depression (1) with powder (13).
Claims20
A method of manufacturing a structural component from a powder, wherein the method comprises forming the structural component layer by layer by a process which comprises melting a first layer of powder to form a first layer of the structural component and forming a second layer of the structural component on the formed first layer by melting a second layer of powder applied on the formed first layer and wherein the method further comprises:
- detecting at least one parameter of an unfilled depression in a formed layer of the structural component;
- smoothing the unfilled depression if the at least one parameter exceeds a predetermined value;
- and
- filling the smoothed unfilled depression with powder.
