1. A method for checking an object produced by a sintering process for potential defects via an inspection device, comprising:
recording at least one image of at least part of the object via an imaging device in the inspection device, if at least one predetermined prerequisite is satisfied;
checking whether a defect in the object can be detected in the at least one image with the inspection device; and
executing prediction processing for the inspection device relating to a potential defect in the object prior to the recording of the at least one image, and, if the at least the predefined prerequisite is satisfied, determining at least one imaging parameter on the basis of the prediction; and
recording the at least one image on the basis of the at least one determined imaging parameter.
