Determination device (1) for determining at least one parameter of an energy beam (5) for an apparatus (3) for additively manufacturing 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 (5), wherein the determination device (1) comprises a beam guiding element (12) adapted to guide the energy beam (5) to a determination unit (7) which is adapted to determine at least one parameter of the energy beam (5), wherein the determination unit (7) and the beam guiding element (12) are arranged as a determination assembly in a defined spatial arrangement relative to each other, wherein the determination assembly is movable, in particular rotatable, into at least a first and a second determination position, wherein the determination unit (7) is adapted to receive the energy beam (5) being guided to a first spatial position from the beam guiding element (12) in the first determination position and to receive the energy beam (5) being guided to a second spatial position from the beam guiding element (12) in the second determination position.
