Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for producing shaped bodies (5) from a building material, in which a layered structure of a shaped body (5) takes place by successively solidifying layers of the building material by exposure to electromagnetic radiation in a layer area having a contour specified for the respective layer. The method provides that together with the shaped body (5), a sleeve-like frame (6) surrounding the shaped body at a distance is constructed layer by layer from the building material, and that in addition, a plurality of pin-like connections (10) are constructed integral with the frame (6) and the shaped body (5), which are distributed around the shaped body (5) and which connect the shaped body (5) with the frame (6).
