Abstract:
Method for operating at least one apparatus ( 1 ) for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects ( 2 ) by means of successive layerwise selective irradiation and consolidation of layers of a powdered build material ( 3 ) which can be consolidated by means of an energy beam ( 4 ), whereby waste thermal energy (WTE) is generated during operation of the at least one apparatus ( 1 ), characterized in that the waste thermal energy (WTE) is at least partly used for generating electrical or mechanical energy (EE, ME) by means of at least one energy converting device ( 15 ) and/or the waste thermal energy (WTE) is at least partly used for operating at least one thermal energy consuming device.

Claim (Index 7):
Method according to  claim 5 , characterized in that an energy converting device ( 15 ) configured for directly or indirectly converting thermal energy into mechanical energy (ME) is used for converting the waste thermal energy (WTE) into mechanical energy (ME).
