Disclosed is a manufacturing device for the additive manufacturing of a three-dimensional object, wherein the object is manufactured by applying a building material layer by layer and selective solidification of the building material, at points in each layer which are assigned in this layer to the cross-section of the object. The points are scanned with at least one exposure area. The movable gas outlet is assigned during operation to a reference process point and/or a target flow supply zone of the movable gas outlet assigned to the reference process point for the flow supply with the process gas and/or the target ventilation zone of the movable gas outlet.
