A method for additively producing components

The method is used for the additive manufacture of three-dimensional metallic components (12), said components (12) layer or partially under vacuum conditions by means of a laser (20) by fusing a metallic powder with the component (12) to be established. In order to reduce the emergence of excess metal powder during processing, wherein the gas stream is supplied to the region of a machining point of the laser (20) on the surface of the component is proposed that the metal powder is added to a gas flow and mixed with this.
