Abstract

A method for additive production of a component, which includes the additive construction of the component on a component platform having an opening, wherein, during the first part of the additive construction of the component an auxiliary structure is produced additively around the opening of the component platform. The method further includes the introduction of a device through the opening into a cavity defined by the auxiliary structure, wherein, during a second part of the additive construction, following the first part of the additive construction, properties of the component to be produced are influenced and/or measured by the device. A component is produced by the method and an apparatus for the additive production of the component, includes the component platform having the opening and the closure.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for the additive production of a component, comprising: additively constructing a component on a component platform having an opening, wherein during a first part of the additive construction of the component an auxiliary structure is additively produced beside the component on the component platform and fully surrounding the opening of the component platform so that the auxiliary structure is a separate structure from the component, wherein the opening at the beginning of the additive construction of the component is closed by a closure, wherein the component platform during the first part of the additive construction of the component is lowered relative to the closure, and the closure is removed after the first part of the additive construction, and during a second part of the additive construction, subsequent to the first part of the additive construction, when a cavity defined by the auxiliary structure and the component is complete: introducing a device through the opening into a cavity defined by the auxiliary structure after the component has been built on the auxiliary structure and is directly above the cavity, and influencing and/or detecting properties of the component to be produced by the device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the component to be produced is heated or cooled by the device during the second part of the additive construction.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the temperature of a portion that is to be produced in a manner spaced apart from the component platform is measured and/or set by heating or cooling by the device.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the component during the additive construction is provided with a projecture, and wherein the projecture defines the cavity.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the component to be produced is additively constructed in such a manner that said component has an aspect ratio of at least 2:1.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the method is a powder-bed-based production method or a method for selective laser melting.
