  • Patent number: 11706849
    Abstract: A shaping machine includes a melting vessel, an induction coil arranged on the melting vessel for inductively heating, in particular melting, a material, and a shaping cavity. The melting vessel has at least one irradiation region which is substantially permeable for an electromagnetic field, and the shaping machine is adapted to cool the material in the cavity in such a way that a substantially crystalline solid body is formed. A body with a higher magnetic permeability than the melting vessel is arranged overlapping the irradiation region, and the induction coil is arranged between the body and the irradiation region.
