Abstract
A component including: a body having one or more surfaces with a contour formed to be substantially complementary to an anatomical surface of a specific patient; the body adapted to securably engage with a component-engaging part to form at least part of an implantable medical device, wherein: the one or more surfaces are substantially configured to evenly engage with the anatomical surface of the specific patient when the component is secured to the component-engaging part and the medical device implanted in the patient; and the body is at least in part manufactured by additive manufacturing.
