Zusammenfassung:An additive manufacturing method for an aircraft part (10) having a polymer body (12) and a metallic structural feature (20) includes generating data defining the aircraft part (10) with the metallic structural feature (20). A build process is determined for the polymer body (12) of the aircraft part (10). The polymer body (12) of the aircraft part (10) is manufactured. A build path for a near net shape metallic structure (14) is determined. The near net shape metallic structure (14) is manufactured using an additive manufacturing process to direct metallic powder from a cold-spray nozzle on at least a section of the polymer body (12). The near net shape metallic structure (14) is machined to provide the aircraft part (10) having the polymer body (12) and the metallic structural feature (20).
