Patent ID: 7837458

Claim:
A device for manufacturing a three-dimensional object by a layer-wise solidification of a building material at positions in the respective layers that correspond to the object, comprising: a container arranged in the device; a support device that is vertically movable in the container, an upper side of which forms a building platform, on which the three-dimensional object is generated layer-wise; an application device for applying the building material in powder form onto the building platform and a previously solidified layer, respectively; an energy source that provides a beam for solidifying the building material in powder form; a machine frame that is substantially triangular having three fundamental beams; support legs mounted at the machine frame, by which the device is supported on a substrate; wherein the support legs are arranged such that a three-point support of the device on the substrate exists; and at least two support legs are mounted at the machine frame such that they are adjustable in height.
