Process for rapid debindering of laid-down, highly filled polymer filaments

A fused deposition modeling process for producing a component, comprising:

• at least partial melting of a polymer filament filled with ceramic and/or metallic particles;
• applying a first layer of the at least partially melted polymer filament according to a first layer of a layer model of the component;
• allowing the layer-wise applied, at least partially melted polymer filament to solidify;
• repeated layer-wise applying of the at least partially melted polymer filament successively on a previously applied and solidified layer according to layers subsequent to the first layer of the layer model until a blank of the component is present;
• and
• debinding comprising a removal of the solidified polymer of the blank of the component and sintering of the ceramic and/or metallic particles to the component;
• wherein prior to the repeated layer-wise applying, an at least sectional exposure of the previously applied and solidified layer of the at least partially melted polymer filament to a laser radiation takes place.
