Abstract

The invention relates to a device (10) and method for the generative production of a component (12). The device comprises two supply tanks (14a, 14b) for taking up powder-form material (16), two overflow tanks (22a, 22b) for taking up excess powder-form material (16), wherein a closing means (24a, 24b) is assigned to each overflow tank (22a, 22b), this means being switchable between a closed position, in which powder-form material (16) cannot be transported into the respective overflow tank (22a, 22b), and an open position, in which powder-form material (16) can be transported into the respective overflow tank (22a, 22b).
