Abstract
A process for producing a component from a curable material, a new layer of the material being printed in periodically recurring steps in a 3D printing process onto a layer located thereunder so as to have lower reinforcing elements which protrude above the top of this new layer, and also relates to a component produced by a corresponding process. Known processes and components do not allow reinforcement over a large surface area.The object of designing a process in such a way that the reinforcement thereof withstands high loads is achieved by providing that, after each layer has been printed, upper reinforcing elements are connected to the lower reinforcing elements so as to extend said lower reinforcing elements and so as to form the lower reinforcing elements of the subsequent layer.
