Abstract:
1. A processing system for processing an object, the processing system comprising: a first energy beam guiding system having first optics configured for generating a first energy beam and focusing the first energy beam in a focusing region located in a vacuum chamber; a second energy beam guiding system having second optics configured for generating a second energy beam and focusing the second energy beam in the focusing region; at least one processing chamber wall which is arrangeable within the vacuum chamber such that the processing chamber wall at least partially encompasses the focusing region; wherein the processing chamber wall comprises a front face substantially disposed in a plane, wherein the front face surrounds a beam path of the first energy beam and a beam path of the second energy beam; wherein the processing chamber wall has at least one connector for supplying a process gas to the focusing region; wherein a first opening traversed by the beam path of the first energy beam is formed in the processing chamber wall; wherein a second opening traversed by the beam path of the second energy beam is formed in the processing chamber wall, and wherein the second opening is spaced apart from the first opening; wherein the processing chamber wall comprises a first wall portion and a second wall portion, which are configured to be displaceable relative to each other; and wherein the processing system is configured such that the displacing of the first and the second wall portions relative to each other changes an inclination of the front face relative to at least one of the beam path of the first energy beam and the beam path of the second energy beam.
