Adjustment method, coating element, and additive manufacturing device

Abstract

An adjustment method for aligning components of an additive manufacturing device using a coating element of the additive manufacturing device, the coating element having a measuring device, the method including positioning at least one measuring probe of the measuring device in an alignment position vertically above a process plate of the additive manufacturing device. The measuring probe has a reference position with a vertical reference distance to a manufacturing plane of the additive manufacturing device. The method further includes aligning the manufacturing plane and the process plate relative to each other by adjusting at least one height adjustment of the additive manufacturing device. The adjusting is performed until the process plate contacts the measuring probe in the reference position.
