Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to an automatable manufacturing facility FA based on optical interactions, in particular a manufacturing facility for selective laser melting (SLM), and an integrated filter device FV in which, by selective insertion of device elements, both contamination by different particle residues within the manufacturing facility FA can be avoided and a manufacturing atmosphere defined by a homogeneous process gas flow can be formed. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a manufacturing system for automated manufacturing of workpieces by means of irradiation of a material to be processed, which, with the aid of controlled adaptations of the process gas to be introduced into the manufacturing facility FA to the properties of the filter device FV, enables the previously described generation of the manufacturing atmosphere, in particular independently of the manufacturing materials used.
A filter device for adjusting an atmosphere in a manufacturing facility based on optical interactions, in particular a SLM facility, comprising at least one light source configured for manufacturing a workpiece, a plurality of optical elements for controlling a light path emanating from the light source and a processing chamber defining a working area of the manufacturing facility, comprising:
