Claim 0:
1. A method for producing an object by additive manufacturing, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving, in a process chamber, a bath of material, wherein a surface level of the bath of material defines an object working area;
solidifying, by a solidifying device, a selective layer-part of the material on the surface level;
controlled oxidization, of waste particles originating from the solidifying of the material, by supplying a controlled amount of oxygen to the waste particles, such that oxidized waste particles are obtained and ignition of the waste particles is avoided;
measuring, by a measurement device, an oxygen level in the process chamber; and
determining an oxidization rate based on the measured oxygen level and the controlled amount of oxygen supplied.
