Abstract
A device for the additive manufacturing of three-dimensional objects from powdery construction material by introducing radiation energy, in particular a laser sintering and/or laser melting device, comprising at least one housing having a process chamber, in which process chamber a construction space or an exchangeable container having a vertically movable construction platform is arranged, to which construction platform the powdery construction material provided for solidification by radiation energy can be applied, characterized by a memory chip, which can be removed from the process chamber of the device with the exchangeable container and/or the constructed object and which can be read out by an electronic reading device and on which production data, which belong to the additive manufacturing process, and/or subsequent processing steps and/or processing stations for automatically controlling processing apparatuses and/or transport paths and/or storage positions and/or data from controlling active elements of the exchangeable container itself are stored.
