Additive manufacturing method for a workpiece comprising a material composed of a base material and an additive, the workpiece comprising a further material based on the base material and the additive at a concentration which is higher than the concentration in the other material of the workpiece, wherein the base material is a metal, a ceramic or a metal-ceramic composite, and wherein the additive comprises at least one of carbon, nitrogen, doping elements, alloying elements, second phase particles, comprising the steps of: spreading a granular material in superimposed layers, wherein the granular material contains the base material and an organic binder, providing an ink which contains a solvent, for dissolving the organic binder, and a suspension of the additive, printing patterns onto the individual layers using the ink, wherein the patterns in the superimposed layers correspond, when combined, to the three-dimensional shape of the workpiece and wherein the ink at least partially dissolves the organic binder in the region of the patterns and introduces the additive into the region of the patterns, evaporating the solvent, as a result of which the granular material is locally connected by the organic binder and the additive is locally fixed, removing granular material unwetted by the solvent in order to reveal the green compact of the workpiece, thermally treating the green compact in order to convert the base material and the additive into the material, and printing a further pattern onto the individual layers once or multiple times using the ink, the further patterns corresponding, when combined, to the regions of the further material in the workpiece. the workpiece comprising a further material based on the base material and the additive at a concentration which is higher than the concentration in the other material of the workpiece, wherein the base material is a metal, a ceramic or a metal-ceramic composite, and wherein the additive comprises at least one of carbon, nitrogen, doping elements, alloying elements, second phase particles, comprising the steps of: spreading a granular material in superimposed layers, wherein the granular material contains the base material and an organic binder, providing an ink which contains a solvent, for dissolving the organic binder, and a suspension of the additive, printing patterns onto the individual layers using the ink, wherein the patterns in the superimposed layers correspond, when combined, to the three-dimensional shape of the workpiece and wherein the ink at least partially dissolves the organic binder in the region of the patterns and introduces the additive into the region of the patterns, evaporating the solvent, as a result of which the granular material is locally connected by the organic binder and the additive is locally fixed, removing granular material unwetted by the solvent in order to reveal the green compact of the workpiece, thermally treating the green compact in order to convert the base material and the additive into the material, and printing a further pattern onto the individual layers once or multiple times using the ink, the further patterns corresponding, when combined, to the regions of the further material in the workpiece. spreading a granular material in superimposed layers, wherein the granular material contains the base material and an organic binder, providing an ink which contains a solvent, for dissolving the organic binder, and a suspension of the additive, printing patterns onto the individual layers using the ink, wherein the patterns in the superimposed layers correspond, when combined, to the three-dimensional shape of the workpiece and wherein the ink at least partially dissolves the organic binder in the region of the patterns and introduces the additive into the region of the patterns, evaporating the solvent, as a result of which the granular material is locally connected by the organic binder and the additive is locally fixed, removing granular material unwetted by the solvent in order to reveal the green compact of the workpiece, thermally treating the green compact in order to convert the base material and the additive into the material, and printing a further pattern onto the individual layers once or multiple times using the ink, the further patterns corresponding, when combined, to the regions of the further material in the workpiece.
