Abstract
An apparatus for producing a component by fused filament fabrication includes a substrate plate for depositing layers of the component. The substrate plate is magnetized before depositing a first layer of the component on the substrate plate by the fused filament fabrication, the first layer including a first substance that contains magnetic material. At least one further layer of the component including a second substance that does not contain a magnetic material is deposited on the first layer by the fused filament fabrication, and the substrate plate is demagnetized after forming the component.
