Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a medical component include additively manufacturing a medical component at least in part by successive, layer-by-layer, selective exposure and associated successive, layer-by-layer, selective solidification of construction material layers made of a construction material solidifiable with an energy beam. The medical component is insertable at least partially into a body of a living being, and the medical component includes a channel structure that has a tubular channel through which a medium and/or at least one functional element can be passed.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a medical component (11) insertable, at least in segments, into a body of an object, in particular of a living being, comprising a channel structure (12) including at least one, in particular tubular, channel (13), through which a medium and/or at least one functional element can be passed, wherein the medical component (1) is manufactured, at least in segments, in particular completely, with the aid of an additive manufacturing method via successive, layer-by-layer, selective exposure and associated successive, layer-by-layer, selective solidification of construction material layers made of a construction material (3) solidifiable with the aid of an energy beam (4).
