<p>The invention provides a building block, or component (290, 280) for a mechanical device such as a bearing 200, an actuator system, or a gear box and a method of producing the building block. The building block comprises a first printed material 210 printed via an additive manufacturing process on or at least partially embedded in a second material 260. The first printed material comprises magnetic particles and is printed in a pattern 212. The pattern may be configured and constructed for guiding, in use, magnetic lubricant material, or may be configured and constructed for blocking at least a part of the magnetic lubricant from crossing the pattern. The method of producing the building block may comprise 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.</p> |
