Abstract
A method for the additive manufacturing of at least one component having defined component properties, comprising the steps of: providing at least one certified data record which contains component-specific parameters and/or system-specific parameters and/or process-specific parameters certified by a provider for an additive manufacturing process of at least one specific component having defined component properties, implementing at least one additive manufacturing process for the additive manufacturing of at least one specific component having defined component properties on the basis of the at least one certified data record.
Claims19
A method for additively manufacturing of at least one component having defined component properties, comprising:
- providing, by a provider of certified data records, at least one certified data record which comprises component-specific parameters, system-specific parameters and process-specific parameters certified by the provider for an additive manufacturing process of at least one defined component having defined component properties, wherein the at least one certified data record defines exact component properties of a reference component having the defined component properties of the defined component to be additively manufactured, the reference component having been previously produced under defined additive manufacturing conditions;
- storing the at least one certified data record on a data storage, the at least one certified data record being retrievable from the data storage by a user via a user-side access portal operatively connected to at least one additive manufacturing apparatus of the user, wherein the at least one certified data record cannot be modified by the user;
- and
- implementing, with the at least one additive manufacturing apparatus of the user, at least one additive manufacturing process for the additive manufacturing of at least one defined component having the defined component properties on the basis of the at least one certified data record which has been retrieved, by the user, from the data storage;
- wherein the at least one certified data record comprises the system-specific parameters, the component-specific parameters, and the process-specific parameters, that are required for the additive manufacturing of the specific component having the defined component properties and further includes machine-readable control information enabling a fully automated control or regulation of an operation of the at least one additive manufacturing apparatus of the user to conduct the additive manufacturing process of the at least one defined component with the at least one additive manufacturing apparatus of the user in fully automated manner without any user-side intervention, and
- wherein the component-specific parameters, the system-specific parameters and the process-specific parameters have been tested out, by the provider, under certain system-specific, component-specific and process-specific circumstances.
A method for producing a certified data record which comprises system-specific parameters, component-specific parameters and process-specific parameters that have been tested out under certain system-specific, component-specific, and process-specific circumstances and certified by a provider for additively manufacturing of at least one defined component having defined component properties, wherein the certified data record is or has been generated by the provider on the basis of information from the provider on the basis of manufacturing results for a reference component corresponding to the component to be additively manufactured, which results are empirically obtained by the provider under defined manufacturing conditions, or
- the certified data record is or has been generated by the user or a third party on the basis of information from the user or the third party on the basis of manufacturing results for the reference component corresponding to the component to be additively manufactured, which results are empirically obtained by the user or the third party under defined manufacturing conditions, the information from the user or the third party being authorised by the provider with regard to at least one authorisation criterion that is predetermined or can be predetermined by the provider and said information being used as a certified data record when authorised by the provider,
- wherein the certified data record cannot be modified by the user.
