Abstract

A device for producing a three dimensional object from a powdery material by solidifying the powdery material through the application of energy includes a working surface, an application device for applying the powdery material onto the working surface, and a solidifying device for solidifying the powdery material applied onto the working surface. The application device can apply predefined, locally different amounts of powdery material and includes a transfer device, which can be magnetized and/or electrostatically charged and discharged, as well as a magnetizing and/or charging device.
