1. A method for additive manufacturing of a structure on at least one surface to be built-up by additive manufacturing processed of a component in a device for additive manufacturing, wherein the device for additive manufacturing has a working plate, the method comprising:
a) preparing an auxiliary plate suitable for fastening on the working plate, wherein the auxiliary plate has at least one reference marking that is not located within the at least one surface of the component,
b) fastening the component on the auxiliary plate,
c) optionally processing the at least one surface to be built-up by additive manufacturing for providing a surface that is substantially parallel to a working plane of the device for additive manufacturing,
d) measuring the at least one reference marking and the component, wherein a position of the component with reference to the at least one reference marking is recorded as working data,
e) introducing the auxiliary plate with the at least one reference marking and the component into the device for additive manufacturing and detachably fastening the auxiliary plate on the working plate and
f) building up by additive manufacturing of the structure on the at least one surface of the component in the device for additive manufacturing as defined by the position recorded in the working data.
