Abstract

See full text

In a method for producing a three-dimensional object wherein the object is produced layer by layer by applying a layer of a material which can be solidified by irradiation with electromagnetic radiation and subsequently solidifying the layer at the points corresponding to the object by irradiation the problem is encountered that the production process is considerably delayed by long heating and cooldown times within the apparatus used for the production. According to the invention this problem is solved by irradiating and thereby solidifying in each layer a region of the material surrounding the object so as to produce a container wall (26) for the material (21).
