Abstract

The invention provides a building block for a mechanical construction. The invention further provides a bearing and a method of producing the building block. The building block provides a first printed material printed via an additive manufacturing process on or at least partially embedded in a second material. The first printed material is printed in a pattern configured and constructed for cooperating with a sensor for providing position information of the building block relative to the sensor. The sensor may be a magnetic sensor or an optical sensor. The first printed material may include magnetic particles. The method of producing the building block may include a step of adding the first printed material to the second material via the additive manufacturing process under the influence of a predefined magnetic field.
