ABSTRACT:
An method for the rapid manufacturing of aerospace replacement parts100is provided, including removing an in-service aerospace part from an aerospace system120. The present invention further includes placing the in-service aerospace part into a three-dimensional scanning device130. The invention then scans the in-service aerospace part utilizing the three-dimensional scanning device to develop a three-dimensional scan140. A computer-aided-design model is then developed based on the three-dimensional scan150. The invention then direct metal fabricates a replacement aerospace part from the computer-aided-design model utilizing layer-build technology device170. Finally the replacement aerospace part is installed back into the aerospace system180.
