A deposition print head including a non-susceptive or low susceptive sleeve, a susceptive element having a filament channel, the susceptive element arranged inside the sleeve, wherein the susceptive element is susceptive for at least one of a magnetic field and an electrical field, wherein the filament channel is for feeding a thermoplastic filament in a feed direction. The deposition print head further includes an exciter arranged around the susceptive element, wherein the exciter is arranged for generating a field compatible with the susceptivity of the susceptive element, and a nozzle attached to one end of the susceptive element.

An induction sealing head, an induction sealing system and a method for sealing a closure to an aperture of a container are disclosed. The induction sealing head is for sealing a closure to an aperture of a container, and includes an induction coil, wherein the induction coil is wound about an axis, and has a first portion lying substantially in a first plane perpendicular to the axis, and a second portion stepped out of the first plane, and lying substantially in a second plane parallel with the first plane.

The invention relates to a device for inductive heating of a component 10, having a component placement unit for the component, an induction coil, with which the component can be heated inductively, at least in regions, an electrical lead for the induction coil, and a positioning unit, at which the induction coil is arranged in such a way that it can be brought into different relative arrangements with respect to the component placement unit by way of the positioning unit, wherein the electrical lead is guided over a contact, which is formed by contact surfaces that rest against each other and are shifted in position in relation to each other in the contact position when the induction coil is shifted in position by means of the positioning unit.
