Abstract

A 3D printing device for producing a three-dimensional component form at least two different materials. The 3D printing device has both a spray-printing unit and an electron-beam and/or laser unit. To produce the three-dimensional component, the spray-printing unit is designed and set up to spray the at least two different materials, and the electron-beam and/or laser unit is designed and set up to join sprayed-on material integrally by fusing by means of an electron beam and/or by means of a laser beam of the electron-beam and/or laser unit.
