Abstract

The invention relates to a device (1) for the generative production of a three-dimensional object (2) by means of successive layer-by-layer selective solidification of construction material layers consisting of a solidifiable construction material (3), by means of at least one laser beam (5), comprising at least one device (4) for generating at least one laser beam (5) for layer-by-layer selective solidification of individual construction material layers consisting of solidifiable construction material (3), a flow device (9) for generating a fluid flow (10) that flows at least partially through a processing chamber (8) of said device (1), and a detection device (12) for detecting an item of flow information describing at least one physical parameter and/or at least one chemical parameter of the fluid flow (10).
