A method for producing a component by means of stereolithography using a centrifuging module, the method having the steps of: A) generating a component in accordance with a virtual 3D model of the component by curing a liquid plastic on a carrier using stereolithography, wherein the component is generated on the carrier in such a way that the component is positioned on the carrier such that an axis of rotation or at least one of multiple axes of rotation extends through the region of the center of gravity of the component, in particular extends through the center of gravity of the component, or the axis of rotation or at least one of the multiple axes of rotation extends through the region of the center of gravity of the system comprising the component, the carrier and all parts of the centrifuge module which rotate with the component, in particular extends through the center of gravity of the system, and B) securing the carrier with the component thereon in the centrifuge module for cleaning the component or the carrier with the component thereon is secured in the centrifuge module for cleaning the component, cleaning the component through at least one rotational movement of the component about the axis of rotation or about the multiple axes of rotation, wherein residues of the liquid plastic are removed from the surface of the component by a centrifugal force resulting from the rotational movement.
