Abstract

A method for providing control commands for producing a number of three-dimensional objects by an additive layer-wise building device. The method can include a step of providing a computer-based model of the number of objects that geometrically describes the objects, a step of modifying the computer-based model such that for the geometric description of the number of objects a location is defined as a common origin of coordinates, and a step of generating control commands for a set of control commands for controlling the production of the number of objects by the additive layer-wise building device on the basis of the modified computer-based model.
