Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a method for producing three-dimensional components, using a three-dimensional printing method, an auxiliary structure being additionally formed beyond an extension of the one or more components during the construction of components. The invention also relates to an auxiliary structure for components produced by means of three-dimensional printing methods, the auxiliary structure being constructed along with the component and extending beyond a dimension of the one or more components.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing two or more three-dimensional components, using a three-dimensional printing method, wherein an auxiliary structure is additionally formed beyond an extension of the two or more components during the construction of components, and this auxiliary structure lies at least partially outside a projection area of the two or more components projected onto a build platform and does not come into direct contact with the build platform, wherein…
