Abstract

According to various embodiments, a device for formfree printing a three-dimensional object in layers using at least one printing material includes: at least one printing head to output printing material in at least one printing material string; a printing platen to receive the at least one printing material string output by the at least one printing head; a rod-shaped heating device movably arranged over the printing platen; a heat controller configured to control the rod-shaped heating device to emit a heat irradiation directed to the printing platen to heat the at least one printing material string; at least one motor coupled to the rod-shaped heating device to move it over the printing platen; a motor controller configured to control the at least one motor to move the rod-shaped heating device over the printing platen to harden the at least one printing material string printed on the printing platen.
