This relates to a method for manufacturing a shell-like structural component for a vehicle using additive layer manufacturing. In a step of the method, a first material is applied to a region of the shell-like structural component. In another step of the method, the region of the shell-like structural component is heated by a laser beam such that the first material is added to the shell-like structural component. The shell-like structural component comprising the first material is cooled in another step such that an internal stress is generated within the shell-like structural component resulting in a bending of the shell-like structural component. This further relates to a shell-like structural component which is manufactured by a method using additive layer manufacturing.
