Claim Text:
1. Method for producing a three-dimensional object from solidifiable material, which is either present in the starting state in a fluid phase, by the sequential discharge of drops from at least one pressurizable material storage device for the fluid phase by means of at least one discharge unit through an outlet provided with a pulsable closure element, the method comprising: actuating the timed closure element by means of an actuator, measuring an initial stressing of the closure element at the operating point by means of the actuator, controlling the initial stressing of the closure element by means of an adjusting element, determining a mapping for the elastic deformation of the closure element by means of the actuator actuated by the adjusting element, and adjusting an elastic working range of the closure element by means of the adjusting element within the mapping.
