ABSTRACT:
A method is for repairing and/or modifying component parts of a gas turbine. First, at least one, particularly damaged section of the component part that is to be repaired is cut out of the component part. In addition, if it does not exist, a data record is generated for a replacement part that is to be produced. The replacement part is subsequently produced with the aid of a rapid manufacturing process. Subsequently, the replacement part produced is integrated into the component part that is to be repaired.
