Method For Producing A Layer Of A Device For The Absorption Of Electromagnetic Radiation

A method for producing a layer of a device for the absorption of electromagnetic radiation, wherein the method comprises:

• providing a ply of powder material in the layer to be produced of the device for the absorption of electromagnetic radiation;
• providing a predefined concentration distribution of particles for the absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the layer of the device for the absorption of electromagnetic radiation;
• providing a first binder for the powder material and a second binder for the powder material, wherein the first binder comprises particles for the absorption of electromagnetic radiation, wherein the second binder comprises a lower concentration of identical and/or different particles for the absorption of electromagnetic radiation than the first binder;
• determining a mixing ratio between the first binder and the second binder for every position in the layer on the basis of the predefined concentration distribution;
• selecting a position of the layer;
• mixing the first and second binder according to the mixing ratio for the selected position;
• wetting the powder material at the selected position using the mixed first and second binder;
• and
• repeating the steps of selecting, mixing, and wetting to produce a layer of the device for the absorption of electromagnetic radiation.
