摘要： In a method of operating an irradiation system (10) for irradiating layers of a raw material powder with electromagnetic or particle radiation in order to produce a three-dimensional work piece (110) it is determined whether a region of a raw material powder layer (11) to be selectively irradiated with electromagnetic or particle radiation in accordance with a geometry of a corresponding layer of the work piece (110) to be produced is affected or substantially unaffected by particulate impurities. Upon selectively irradiating the region of the raw material powder layer (11) with electromagnetic or particle radiation, an energy density applied to the region of the raw material powder layer (11) by a radiation beam (14a, 14b) is controlled in such a manner that the energy density is higher in case it is determined that the region of the raw material powder layer (11) is affected by particulate impurities than in case it is determined that the region of the raw material powder layer (11) is substantially unaffected by particulate impurities.

摘要： An apparatus for producing a three-dimensional work piece is provided. The apparatus comprises an irradiation unit comprising at least one scanning unit configured to scan a radiation beam over an uppermost layer of raw material powder to predetermined sites of the uppermost layer of the raw material powder in order to solidify the raw material powder at the predetermined sites. An axis corresponding to the radiation beam when it impinges on the uppermost layer of raw material powder at an angle of 90° is defined as a central axis for the scanning unit. The apparatus further comprises a control unit configured to receive work piece data indicative of at least one layer of the three-dimensional work piece to be produced, and assign at least a part of a contour of the layer of the three-dimensional work piece to the at least one scanning unit. According to a first aspect, the control unit is configured to generate control data for controlling the irradiation unit, the control data defining a scan strategy of the radiation beam such that for more than 50% of a predefined length, the radiation beam moves away from the central axis, the predefined length being defined as a length the radiation beam moves along the contour assigned to the at least one scanning unit, excluding sections concentric with regard to the central axis. Further, corresponding methods and computer program products are provided.
