Patent Abstract

The invention relates to a device for additive manufacturing of components, comprising at least linear guides (1'), modules (1'') which are connected to the linear guides (1') such that the linear guides (1') of the individual modules (1'') are arranged in an isosceles right-angled triangle, print heads (2) which are arranged on the modules (1'') adjacent to a printing surface (4) and pushing devices (6) for ejecting components.
