FILTER ELEMENT FOR A FILTER UNIT

The present invention relates to a filter element (1) for a filter unit (30) for filtering a fluid, wherein the filter element (1), so as to be permeable to the fluid, consists of at least one structural body (6, 7) and a support body (5) and has a large number of apertures/pores (17). The structural boy (6, 7) and the support body (5) are each produced by means of a 3D printing process, wherein the structural body (6, 7) has a repeating three-dimensionally crosslinked lattice structure (15) and the support body (5) has a cell structure (10). The apertures/pores (17) of the lattice structure (15) are formed by inter-crosslinked and rigidly connected rod elements (16). The problem addressed by the filter element (1) is that of providing a new optimal and robust filter structure having a good filtering effect and a good deep loading capacity using a 3D printing process. The present invention is used to filter fluids in technical modular units/machine units or motors. 本发明涉及一种用于过滤流体的过滤单元(30)的过滤元件(1)，其中为了相对于流体可渗透，
