Claim One:
1. A method for producing an adapted object using a computer-controlled selective laser melting method, the method comprising: applying a modeling method to derive a model geometry from a target geometry of an object; creating an adapted model geometry from the model geometry by applying: (i) a correction factor to correct a dimension of the model geometry to compensate for a change in a cavity of the object that could occur during selective laser melting so that a dimension of the adapted model geometry corresponds to a dimension of the target geometry of the object, and (ii) a correction geometry to correct a shape of the model geometry to compensate for an overhang in the cavity of the object that could occur during selective laser melting so that a shape of the adapted model geometry corresponds to a shape of the target geometry of the object, wherein, as a result of the application of the correction factor and/or the correction geometry, the adapted model geometry is a bore with a drop-shaped cross section; and producing the adapted object using the computer-controlled selective laser melting method using the adapted model geometry, the adapted object being a bore with a circular cross section that corresponds to the target geometry.
