Abstract:
1. A device for producing at least one three-dimensional object by solidifying a solidifiable material, comprising: a device for supply of energy to a building region, the energy supply device being capable of solidifying the solidifiable material; an object carrier capable of carrying the object to be produced; a solidifiable material carrier/provider being arranged to provide solidifiable material at least in the building region, wherein the building region is between the object carrier and the device for supply of energy; and a sensor arranged to sense or measure and output a signal indicative of a condition selected from the group consisting of (i) a separation force of the object carrier from a building plane in the building region between the object carrier and the device for supply of energy, and ii) a separation force of the solidifiable material carrier/provider from the building plane between the object carrier and the device for supply of energy; and a controller configured to initiate the building of the at least one three-dimensional object based on an initial set of build parameters, to receive the signal indicative of the condition from the at least one sensor during the building of the at least one three-dimensional object and to adjust the value of at least one build parameter included in the set of build parameters from an initial value to an adjusted value based on the received signal, wherein the at least one build parameter to be adjusted includes at least one build parameter corresponding to a distance of the object carrier from the building plane in the building region.
