Abstract

A method of manufacturing a heat exchanger comprising a body and a support embedded within the body. The support comprises a different material and/or a different material structure to the body and hence has at least one material property which is different to that of the body. The method comprises; forming at least a first portion of the support with a first material and a first material structure using a first additive manufacturing step; and forming at least a first portion of the body with a second material and a second material structure using a second additive manufacturing step. The first material is different to the second material and/or the first material structure is different to the second material structure.
