Zusammenfassung:A method for manufacturing a component in layers includes dropwise application of a liquid material using a printhead. More particularly, a layer (14) of the component to be produced is divided into an outer region (20) and a central core region (18), and the liquid material (16) is applied successively in the outer region (20) and the core region (18). One or more parameters relating to the spacing between paths to be traversed, the drop size, the spacing between successive drops, etc. is selected so that the layer (14) will have a thickness that is as uniform as possible.
