- the build-up material is solidified in such a way that the envelope region encloses the object at least in sections, wherein the points corresponding to the envelope region are less strongly solidified than the points corresponding to the three-dimensional object.
- an envelope region is solidified around the object, which encloses the object at least in sections and thus supports it. This makes it possible to produce filigree components and objects with internal cavities. Since the envelope region is less strongly solidified than the three-dimensional object, the finished object can be easily separated from the envelope region.

This allows uniform support and, if necessary, protection of the object to be manufactured across all areas of construction, thus offering good stability. Furthermore, it is prevented by the envelope region that the object to be produced is deformed by internal stress and thermal effects.

- the building material is a powdery material, more preferably a metal powder. Since the support of the object to be produced is particularly important in the case of metallic building materials, the use of metal powders as a building material can achieve a particularly good effect through the enveloping area.

- the gap described with reference to FIG. 5, which is provided between the three-dimensional object and the envelope region, does not necessarily have to be around the entire surface of the object 2 be provided around. Rather, it is also possible to arrange the gap only in one spatial direction, for example in the vertical or horizontal direction, or in two spatial directions around the object. The gap may also be only partially solidified in one or more spatial directions around the object.
- the envelope area does not necessarily have to be removed from the object by blasting. It is also possible to remove the envelope region by another known method, e.g. manually or mechanically applied force, such as' by hammering, rubbing (files, etc.).
