Abstract

A 3D printer 100 is described, which is configured to build up a three-dimensional component in layers by forming layers of particulate construction material lying one upon each other and by selectively solidifying a partial region of the respective construction material layer. The 3D printer 100 is configured to simultaneously build up one or more first three-dimensional components in a first construction space B1, which is arranged in the 3D printer, and one or more second three-dimensional components in a second construction space B2 which is arranged adjacent to the first construction space at a horizontal distance therefrom in the 3D printer.
