Abstract
A method of making a component comprises producing a layer of sheet material including an aperture over a movable support. An insulating material is deposited in a first portion of the aperture to form an insulating coating with one or more pockets. A conductive material is deposited in the one or more pockets. Heat and pressure are applied to the layer and the movable support is lowered by a thickness of the layer. The steps are repeated to form a laminated stack defining the component. In some embodiments, the laminated stack of sheet materials forms an induction machine.
