Abstract
A method for producing a multi-jet nozzle body from a nozzle body blank produced by an injection molding or an additive manufacturing process, and a multi-jet nozzle body. The nozzle body blank defines a fluid chamber and is provided with at least two nozzle geometries having respective axes arranged to extend in a discharge direction and to intersect at a point of intersection outside of the nozzle geometries. The method includes processing, via laser processing, the nozzle body blank to form at least one of: an inflow arranged between one of the at least two nozzle geometries and the fluid chamber; or a funnel arranged between one of the at least two nozzle geometries and the inflow, thereby producing the multi-jet nozzle body.

A method for producing a multi-jet nozzle body from a nozzle body blank produced by an injection molding or an additive manufacturing process, the nozzle body blank defining a fluid chamber and being provided with at least two nozzle geometries having respective axes arranged to extend in a discharge direction and to intersect at a point of intersection outside of the nozzle geometries, the method comprising:
- processing, via laser processing, the nozzle body blank to form an inflow arranged between one of the at least two nozzle geometries and the fluid chamber;
- and a funnel arranged between one of the at least two nozzle geometries and the inflow, thereby producing the multi-jet nozzle body,
- wherein the laser processing comprises a laser drilling method in which the laser processing is performed along a laser direction and at least one of laser ablation or 3D laser ablation in which a removal direction is essentially opposite to a laser propagation direction and a laser beam penetrates a first surface which faces a laser generating apparatus, travels through a material of the nozzle body blank, and evaporates material on a top side of a reverse side of the nozzle body blank.
