Abstract

A method for implementing a channel (56) includes providing a preform (20) having a recess (22) therein and heating a channel implementation element (30′) to a temperature greater than a melting temperature of a material of the preform (20). An external contour of the channel implementation element (30′) at least regionally corresponds to an internal contour of the channel (56) to be implemented. The method then moves the heated channel implementation and/or the preform (20) in relation to one another so that the heated channel implementation element (56) at least regionally moves into the recess (22) in a moving-in direction. The material of the preform (20) is at least partially melted in a region around the recess (20) and is at least partially displaced by the channel implementation element (30′), wherein at least a part of the channel (56) to be implemented is thus implemented.
