Apparatus and method for manufacturing component generative

The present invention relates to a device for laser-based generative component manufacturing. The device comprises a machining head, with the plurality of separate laser beams adjacent to each other and / or partially overlapping directed to the machining plane. The machining head is moved by a moving device on the working plane, while the separated laser beams are independently modulated in intensity in order to obtain the desired exposure geometry. The proposed apparatus and associated methods, the laser power and the space size in the generative manufacturing cost can be scaled.
