Abstract

A method for evaluating the quality of a component produced by means of an additive laser sintering and/or laser melting method, in particular a component for an aircraft engine comprises at least the steps of providing a first data set, which comprises spatially resolved color values, which each characterize the temperature of the component at an associated component location during the laser sintering and/or laser melting of the component, providing a second data set, which comprises spatially resolved color values corresponding to the first data set, which color values each characterize the temperature of a reference component at an associated reference component location during the laser sintering and/or laser melting of the reference component.
