Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device (12, 13) for producing a multi-layered three-dimensional component (14). In a first step, a layered geometrical structure is formed, said structure consisting of at least two webs (16) of an at least high temperatures-resistant material. In a second step, an at least partly material connection is produced between the individual webs of the entire layered structure by means of at least one thermal treatment.

Process for the production of a three-dimensional component (11) consisting of plural layers, in which in a first process section:
- a sheet of material (16) coated at least one-sidedly with adhesive (26) is applied on a baseplate (22) or on a previously applied sheet of material (16) in a processing station (18), and
- a contour is cut into an uppermost sheet of material (16), constituted by a construction layer (52) and a waste material (53), and the waste material (53) is removed, and
- in which in a second process section:
- a laminate structure (14) is placed in a chamber and is surrounded, at least partially, by a powder (68),
- the chamber (61) is heated in a heating-up phase to a temperature which is higher than a vaporization temperature of the adhesive provided between the individual sheets of material (16), and
- an at least partial material bonding of materials is produced by a solder, weld, or sinter process between the individual sheets of material (16) of the whole laminar structure (14) by at least one heat treatment, and
- wherein the powder (68) is composed of a powder mixture of at least a base powder and at least one additional powder and the additional powder is evaporated in the heating-up phase.
