1. A method of producing a housing for a flow-conducting component having at least two functional regions in an integrative manufacturing unit, comprising the steps of:
forming at least one functional region of the at least two functional regions in grid or honeycomb structure from a first build material;
applying a layer of a second build material to the at least one other functional region of the at least two functional regions; and
selectively applying energy in the form of radiation, heat and pressure to the at least two functional regions, wherein the selectively-applied energy is controlled to generate at least one predetermined property in the at least one functional region of the at least two functional regions which is different from at least one predetermined property in the at least one other functional region of the at least two functional regions, wherein
the at least two functional regions are formed layer by layer by a same robot arm during a single generative manufacturing process.
