1. An apparatus for producing a three-dimensional laminate from a plurality of layers of particulate material, said apparatus comprising:
a printing frame,
a rising guide mounted to the printing frame such that the printing frame is movable in a vertical direction along the rising guide,
at least two coating devices for layer-wise application of the particulate material on a printing platform, each of the at least two coating devices being mounted to the printing frame so as to be movable in a horizontal direction along the printing frame and so as to be movable in a vertical direction with the printing frame along the rising guide, and each of the at least two coating devices having a respective intermediate storage container for storing the particulate material to be applied by the respective one of the at least two coating devices, and
a printing head for delivery of a binding agent at locally predetermined regions of the plurality of layers of particulate material, the printing head being mounted so as to move relative to the printing frame, and the printing head having a respective storage container for storing the binding agent to be applied by the printing head,
wherein the at least two coating devices are independently movable with respect to each other, and the printing head is independently movable relative to each of the at least two coating devices.
