1. A method for preparing automated production of an electronic component by 3-D printing, in which production at least one of: a surface mounted device (SMD) component part, a conductor path, a plug component, and a printed electronic component part is arranged on at least one substrate, the method comprising the steps of:
creating an item of structural information that describes a structure of the electronic component part using a CAD and/or CAM device;
using the item of structural information to determine an item of production information comprising a first machine-readable control instruction set for a production device at least partially designed for 3-D printing; and
determining an item of post-processing information, together with the first control instruction set, from at least one of the structural information and the production information, wherein the post-processing information comprises at least one of: an item of recycling information comprising a second machine-readable control instruction set for a recycling device configured for automated recycling of the electronic component, for recycling the electronic component by recovering at least one material of the electronic component, and an item of repair information comprising a third machine-readable control instruction set for a repair device configured to at least partially automatically repair the electronic component, wherein the item of post-processing information is held for the post-processing of the electronic component.
