Caliper body for a disc brake and method for manufacturing a caliper body

A method for manufacturing a caliper body for a disc brake, wherein said caliper body is suitable for straddling an associable disc brake having a first braking surface, or a vehicle-side braking surface, and a second braking surface, or wheel-side braking surface, opposite said first braking surface, further comprising:

• defining an axial direction coinciding or parallel with the rotation axis of the disc, a radial direction orthogonal with said axial direction and a tangential direction orthogonal both to said axial direction and to said radial direction;
• providing said caliper body with a first elongated portion, or vehicle-side elongated portion, at least partially suitable for facing said first braking surface and a second elongated portion, or wheel-side elongated portion, opposite said first elongated portion and at least partially suitable for facing said second braking surface;
• wherein at least one part of said first elongated portion is constituted by at least one first module and at least one part of said second elongated portion is constituted by at least one second module,
• wherein said first module and said second module are obtained by at least one non-additive manufacturing technique,
• wherein said first module comprises at least one first positioning surface and wherein said second module comprises at least one second positioning surface,
• wherein said first positioning surface and said second positioning surface are suitable for being arranged, when facing, substantially parallel to each other,
• wherein said caliper body comprises at least one junction element obtained by laser sintering of layers of metal powders,
• and wherein said junction element connects said first module and said second module to each other to form a single piece, blocking the relative position of said first module and said second module with said first and second positioning surfaces substantially parallel to each other,
• wherein said junction element is only supported on its sides between the first and second modules.
