Abstract
Method for operating an apparatus (1) for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects (2) by means of successive layerwise selective irradiation and consolidation of layers of a build material (3) which can be consolidated by means of an energy beam (4), wherein at least one energy beam (4) is guided along at least one track segment (13, 16-18) in the build plane based on irradiation data generated based on a space-filling curve.

Method for operating an apparatus (1) for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects (2) by means of successive layerwise selective irradiation and consolidation of layers of a build material (3) which can be consolidated by means of an energy beam (4), characterized in that at least one energy beam (4) is guided along at least one track segment (13, 16-18) in the build plane based on irradiation data generated based on a space-filling curve.
Method for generating irradiation data for an apparatus (1) for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects (2) by means of successive layerwise selective irradiation and consolidation of layers of a build material (3) which can be consolidated by means of an energy beam (4), which irradiation data comprise at least one track segment (13, 16-18) along which the energy beam (4) is guided across a build plane, characterized in that at least one track segment (13, 16-18) of the irradiation data is generated based on a space-filling curve.
Control unit (10) for generating or receiving irradiation data, in particular for an apparatus (1) for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects (2) by means of successive layerwise selective irradiation and consolidation of layers of a build material (3) which can be consolidated by means of an energy beam (4), which irradiation data comprise at least one track segment (13, 16-18) along which the energy beam (4) is guided across a build plane, characterized in that the control unit (10) is adapted to generate at least one track segment (13, 16-18) of the irradiation data based on a space-filling curve.
