Abstract
Apparatus (1) for additively manufacturing of three-dimensional objects by means of successive layerwise selective irradiation and consolidation of layers of a build material which can be consolidated by means of an energy beam, comprising at least one process chamber (2), wherein the process chamber (2) comprises at least two chamber segments (3, 4), wherein at least one chamber segment (3, 4) is mounted on the at least one other chamber segment (3, 4) and is separately detachable.
Claims13
An apparatus for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects, the apparatus comprising:
- a process chamber comprising a first chamber segment and a second chamber segment each delimiting the process chamber, the first chamber segment and the second chamber segment being attached to one another in an attached state, and being movable relative to one another in a detached state and thereby providing access to the process chamber;
- a demounting unit, the demounting unit configured to support at least one of the first chamber segment or the second chamber segment in the detached state, at least one of the first chamber segment or the second chamber segment being mounted to the demounting unit and extractable relative to the other of the first and second chamber segments;
- and
- a base plate, the base plate configured to support the first chamber segment and the second chamber segment at least in the attached state;
- wherein the first chamber segment comprises a first sub-segment and a second sub-segment, the first sub-segment and the second sub-segment being movable relative to one another so as to provide access to the process chamber and wherein the first sub-segment is undetachably fixed to the base plate, and the second sub-segment is movable relative to the first sub-segment.
