Method for producing a green compact from a powdered or ganular material

Abstract

A method for producing a green compact from a powdered or granular material is disclosed. An embodiment of the method includes moving a fill shoe, which is filled with powdered or granular material, by an adjusting device from a first park position to a first end position. The fill shoe is moved from the first end position to a second end position over a construction chamber and the construction chamber is filled with the powdered or granular material in the fill shoe in a layer. The fill shoe is moved from the second end position to a second park position after filling the construction chamber with the layer, where the second park position is different from the first park position.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for producing a green compact from a powdered or granular material, comprising the steps of:
 moving a fill shoe, which is filled with powdered or granular material, by an adjusting device from a first park position to a first end position;   moving the fill shoe from the first end position to a second end position over a construction chamber and filling the construction chamber with the powdered or granular material in the fill shoe in a layer; and   moving the fill shoe from the second end position to a second park position after filling the construction chamber with the layer, wherein the second park position is different from the first park position.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:
 moving the fill shoe, which is filled with powdered or granular material, by the adjusting device from the second park position to the second end position;   moving the fill shoe from the second end position to the first end position over the construction chamber and filling the construction chamber with the powdered or granular material in the fill shoe in a second layer; and   moving the fill shoe from the first end position to the first park position after filling the construction chamber with the second layer.   
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein a first speed at which the fill shoe is moved from the first park position to the first end position and/or the second end position to the second park position is greater than a speed at which the fill shoe is moved from the first end position to the second end position.
