Abstract

Method for operating at least one apparatus for additively manufacturing of three-dimensional objects by means of successive layerwise selective irradiation and consolidation of layers of a build material which can be consolidated by means of an energy beam, wherein at least one object is being built by successively irradiating layers of the object in a build plane, wherein at least one part of at least one layer of the object is assigned to be irradiated by a first energy beam and at least one other part of at least one layer of the object is assigned to be irradiated by another energy beam, wherein the parts of layers are assigned to be irradiated by one of the at least two energy beams based on a Huffman coding.
