A method of manufacturing of a component having the steps of manufacturing of a first segment for the component by a powder-bed manufacturing process, and the manufacturing of a second segment for the component originating from the first segment by an additive manufacturing process, such that the second segment projects by a projecting distance over at least one side face of the first segment. Furthermore, a component has the first segment being manufactured by the powder-bed manufacturing process and the second segment being manufactured by the additive manufacturing process, wherein the second segment projects by a projecting distance over at least one side face of the first segment.

A method for producing a machining segment for a machining tool, where the machining segment is connectable to a basic body of the machining tool by an underside of the machining segment, includes producing a green body by placing first hard material particles in depressions of a first press punch and applying a first matrix material to the first hard material particles. The green body is processed by hot pressing under temperature and pressure between the first press punch, which forms an upper side of the machining segment, and a second press punch, which forms the underside, to form the machining segment, where the upper side is opposite from the underside.

A method for producing a machining segment for a machining tool, where the machining segment is connectable to a basic body of the machining tool by an underside of the machining segment, includes producing a green body by placing first hard material particles in a first matrix material in a defined particle pattern. The green body is compacted by pressure between a first press punch, which forms the underside, and a second press punch, which forms an upper side of the machining segment, to form a compact body. The compact body is processed by temperature or by infiltration to produce the machining segment. The second press punch has depressions in a pressing surface where an arrangement of the depressions corresponds to the defined particle pattern of the first hard material particles.
