Abstract
A device for generative manufacturing of a component, in particular for layered generative manufacturing of a component which is printed on a base plate. The base plate forms a connecting surface for applying and compacting powder in order to manufacture the component, and includes a plurality of sheets, the sheets being formed and arranged next to one other such that the connecting surface of the base plate is formed by lateral surfaces of the sheets.
Claims8
A device for generative manufacture of parts, the device comprising:
- a base plate which forms a connecting surface for applying and compacting powder in order to manufacture the component, the base plate comprising a plurality of sheets,
- the sheets being formed and arranged next to one another such that the connecting surface of the base plate is formed by lateral surfaces of the sheets.
A method for generative manufacture of a component, the method comprising:
- providing a device for generative manufacture of parts, the device comprising a base plate which forms a connecting surface for applying and compacting powder in order to manufacture the component, wherein the base plate comprises a plurality of sheets, wherein the sheets are formed and arranged next to one another such that the connecting surface of the base plate is formed by lateral surfaces of the sheets;
- producing the component by successively applying and compacting powder in thin layers on the connecting surface;
- and
- separating the sheets individually or in groups from the produced component.
