The present invention relates to a device for producing three-dimensional models by a layering technique, at least one print head (8) being provided for selective dispensing of at least one material onto a target surface in the form of droplets. The print head (8) is in engagement with a receptacle at two points spaced a distance apart, the position and alignment of the print head (8) relative to the target surface is steplessly adjustable in all spatial directions via these two points, and the receptacle and the target surface are movable in relation to each other.

1. A device for producing three-dimensional models by a layering technique comprising: at least one print head being provided for selective dispensing at least one material onto a target surface in the form of droplets,wherein the print head is in engagement with a receptacle at two points spaced a distance apart, wherein the receptacle includes one or more adjustment elements at each of the two points, wherein the adjustment elements are sufficiently adjustable so that the position and alignment of the print head in relation to the target surface is steplessly adjustable in all spatial directions via the adjustment elements at these two points,wherein the print head includes one or more rows of nozzles, wherein the one or more rows are aligned perpendicular to an x-direction of printing, andwherein the receptacle and the target surface are movable in relation to each other. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the one or more print heads includes a plurality of the rows of nozzles aligned perpendicular to the x-direction of printing. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the print head is in engagement with the receptacle on an intrinsically rigid plate outside the print area with the aid of two retaining elements at the points. 4. The device of claim 3, wherein the retaining elements are rotatably mounted in the points. 5. The device of claim 3, wherein the retaining elements are permanently connected to the receptacle. 6. The device of claim 3, wherein the retaining elements are in engagement with lever arms which are disposed largely parallel to the plate. 7. The device of claim 3, wherein the retaining elements are in engagement with lever arms, wherein the lever arms are each freely and steplessly adjustable on a plane of the plate with regard to the angle and perpendicularly to the plane of the plate. 8. The device of claim 7, wherein the lever arms are clamped by the retaining elements for the purpose of adjusting the position and alignment of the print head in relation to the target surface. 9. The device according to claim 3, wherein the retaining elements are in engagement with lever arms which are disposed largely parallel to the plate. 10. The device according to claim 1, wherein the device includes lever arms clamped by retaining elements for the purpose of adjusting the position and alignment of the print head in relation to the target surface. 11. The device of claim 3, wherein the retaining elements include round rods. 12. The device of claim 11, wherein the retaining elements are rotatably mounted in the points. 13. The device of claim 2, wherein the print head is in engagement with the receptacle on an intrinsically rigid plate outside the print area with the aid of two retaining elements at the points. 14. The device of claim 13, wherein the retaining elements are rotatably mounted in the points. 15. The device of claim 13, wherein the retaining elements are permanently connected to the receptacle. 16. The device of claim 13, wherein the retaining elements are in engagement with lever arms which are disposed largely parallel to the plate. 17. The device of claim 13, wherein the retaining elements include round rods. 18. The device according to claim 2, wherein the device includes lever arms clamped by retaining elements for the purpose of adjusting the position and alignment of the print head in relation to the target surface. 19. A method for producing three-dimensional models by a layering technique comprising the steps of: depositing a particulate material onto a target surface; andselectively dispensing at least one material in the form of droplets from at least one print head onto the target surface;wherein the print head is in engagement with a receptacle at two points spaced a distance apart, wherein the receptacle includes one or more adjustment elements at each of the two points, wherein the adjustment elements are sufficiently adjustable so that the position and alignment of the print head in relation to the target surface is steplessly adjustable in all spatial directions via the adjustment elements at these two points,wherein the print head includes one or more rows of nozzles, wherein the one or more rows are aligned perpendicular to an x-direction of printing, andwherein the step of selectively dispensing includes a step of moving the receptacle over the target surface in the x-direction of printing. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the one or more print heads includes a plurality of the rows of nozzles aligned perpendicular to the x-direction of printing.
