Method and manufacturing device for skipping continuous energy beam

In a method for displacing a continuous energy beam (5) along an irradiation path (101) formed by a sequence of beam positions (17), the irradiation path (101) is provided for solidifying a powder material (2) in a powder layer in a working region (9) of a production device (1). In the method, a continuous energy beam (5) is irradiated onto a powder material (2) in order to form a layer of a component (4) within a frame of the additive manufacturing method. Furthermore, the energy beam (5) is displaced in the working region (9) by superimposing the optical deflection of the energy beam (5) by means of the deflection device (13) and the mechanical deflection of the energy beam (5) by means of the scanning device (7). The mechanical deflection is designed to position the energy beam (5) at a plurality of irradiation positions (11) arranged within the working area (9), the irradiation positions (11) substantially spanning the working area (9). The optical deflection is designed to deflect the energy beam (5) aro
