Abstract

Apparatus (1) for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects (2) by means of successive layerwise selective irradiation and consolidation of layers of a build material (3) which can be consolidated by means of an energy beam (5) that is guided inside a process chamber (6) of the apparatus (1), wherein a determination device (7, 8) is provided that is arranged inside the process chamber (6) and adapted to determine at least one parameter of the energy beam (5), preferably during an additive manufacturing process, in particular during a process step of the additive manufacturing process in which build material (3) is applied onto a build plane (11) of the apparatus (1).
