A device for manufacturing a three-dimensional product, which device
comprises a work table on which said three-dimensional product is to be
built, a powder dispenser which is arranged to lay down a thin layer of
powder on the work table for the formation of a powder bed, a ray gun for
giving off energy to the powder whereby fusion of the powder takes place,
members for controlling of the beam released by the ray gun across said
powder bed for the formation of a cross section of said three-dimensional
product through fusion of parts of said powder bed, and a controlling
computer in which information about successive cross sections of the
three-dimensional product is stored, which cross sections build the
three-dimensional product, the controlling computer intended to control
said members for guiding the ray gun across the powder bed according to a
running schedule forming a cross section of said three-dimensional body,
whereby said three-dimensional product is formed by successive fusion of
successively formed cross sections from powder layers successively laid
down by the powder dispenser.
