Zusammenfassung:Methods (1000) for fabricating a component of a gas turbine engine are provided. In one embodiment, the method (1000) includes molding (1002) a CMC material to form a first portion of the gas turbine engine component, processing (1006) the first portion to form a first assembly (A 1 ), preparing (1008) the first assembly and a second portion of the gas turbine engine component for processing, and processing (1010) the first assembly and second portion to form a second assembly (A 2 ). In another embodiment, the method includes processing a first plurality of CMC plies to form a first assembly (A 1 ); positioning the first assembly (A 1 ) and a second plurality of CMC plies on a tool for processing, the first assembly (A 1 ) defining a first plane, the second plurality of plies defining a second plane, wherein the second plane is perpendicular to the first plane; and processing the first assembly and the second plurality of plies to form a second assembly (A 2 ).
