Labyrinth seal and method of making a labyrinth seal

摘要

The present invention is a method for producing a labyrinth seal (10), wherein a digital data record is provided, which record comprises three-dimensional shape data of the labyrinth seal (10), wherein the labyrinth seal (10) has a first sealing element (12) and a second sealing element (10). 14) which are designed to correspond to one another such that a sealing gap (16) can be formed between the first sealing element (12) and the second sealing element (14), wherein the first sealing element (12) and the second sealing element (14) are formed by a common manufacturing process based on the digital data set are produced in one piece by an additive manufacturing process. Such a method allows complex sealing geometries through simple manufacturing processes.
