The invention relates to a device for inductive heating of a component, having a component placement unit for the component, an induction coil, with which the component can be heated inductively, at least in regions, an electrical lead for the induction coil, and a positioning unit, at which the induction coil is arranged in such a way that it can be brought into different relative arrangements with respect to the component placement unit by way of the positioning unit, wherein the electrical lead is guided over a contact, which is formed by contact surfaces that rest against each other and are shifted in position in relation to each other in the contact position when the induction coil is shifted in position by means of the positioning unit.

Device for inductive heating of a component

A method for manufacturing at least a metallic portion of a component: a) depositing metallic material layer by layer onto at least one building platform; b) locally fusing and/or sintering the material layer by layer by supplying energy by at least one high-energy beam in the region of a buildup and joining zone to form at least a portion of at least one component layer of the component portion and/or of the component; c) lowering the building platform layer by layer by a predefined layer thickness; and d) repeating the steps a) through c) until completion of the component portion and/or of the component. Before, during and/or after process step b), at least one further portion of the component layer is formed by locally fusing and/or sintering the material by inductive heating at a temperature or in a temperature range above the solidus temperature of the metallic material used. A system for manufacturing at least a portion of a component is also provided.
