Patent

Method and apparatus for producing a three-dimensional component

The invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional component (1) by means of a laser melting process, in which the component (1) is produced by consecutively solidifying individual layers made of building material (4) by melting the building material (4), wherein said building material can be solidified by the action of radiation, wherein the melting area (5) produced by a punctiform and/or linear energy input is detected by a sensor device (6, 11, 12, 18) and sensor values are derived therefrom in order to evaluate the component quality. The sensor values detected in order to evaluate the component quality are stored together with the coordinate values that locate the sensor values in the component (1) and are displayed by means of a visualization unit (29) in two- and/or multi-dimensional representation with respect to the detection location of the sensor values in the component.
