Abstract
The invention is directed to a method for cleaning powder residues of an additive layer build-up method away from an at least partly additively manufactured component by a cleaning device, wherein a machine plate and the component arranged thereon are excited to mechanical oscillation during a cleaning process by a vibration actuator of the cleaning device with a set resonant frequency of the machine plate. According to the invention, before the cleaning process is carried out, a resonant frequency of the machine plate is set to the set resonant frequency by an arrangement of a mass element on a securing element of the machine plate.
