Abstract
The invention relates to a composite body, wherein at least one functional component is integrated into a shaped product, and to a method for producing the same. The shaped product can especially be an implant, a prosthesis, an industrial component or a multifunctionally useful sensor platform for the monitoring of materials, components and/or structural systems.
Claims20
A composite body, wherein the composite body comprises at least one functional component and a shaped body and wherein:
- the at least one functional component is arranged so as to be connected to a metallic or ceramic support structure, which metallic or ceramic support structure comprises at least one contour element,
- the at least one functional component is surrounded at least in some region or regions by at least one thermally insulating layer of a ceramic material and at least one thermally conductive layer lying above the at least one thermally insulating layer of ceramic material, which at least one thermally conductive layer is composed of a thermally conductive metal, metal alloy or metal oxide, and
- the shaped body is produced generatively by beam melting of a metal powder and completely surrounds the at least one functional component and the support structure comprising the at least one contour element, at least one of the at least one contour elements being materially connected to the shaped body by a beam melting zone.
