Method for the production of a structural component

A method for producing a structural component which comprises a foam structure formed by foaming of a foamable material, the method comprising the steps of:

• additively building up a receiving component which replicates, at least in certain sections, an external geometry of the structural component to be produced and which comprises a receiving space for receiving foamable material;
• introducing at least one foamable material into the receiving space of the receiving component, wherein at least one support structure permits a discharge of heat and prevents expansion of the receiving component;
• implementing at least one measure for foaming the foamable material that has been introduced into the receiving space of the receiving component, so as to form the foam structure;
• and
• using a surface-activation measure to create a connection between the foam structure and the receiving component, wherein
• the at least one measure for foaming the at least one foamable material is implemented in a tool which comprises a temperature-controllable tool interior space, and
• the at least one support structure negatively replicates, at least in certain sections, the external geometry of the receiving component and is introduced into the tool interior space.
