Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for repairing compressor blades (50) using hybrid manufacturing techniques. A tool (100) for repairing a compressor blade has a plurality of support bases (116A, 116B), and a slot configured for securement of the compressor blade (50) to the mounting tool (100). The tool has a pair of support bases (116A, 116B), each of which is configured for the building of a sacrificial support (130, 140) thereon to stabilize the compressor blade (50) during repair. The tool is coupled to a hybrid manufacturing machinery and the sacrificial supports (130, 140) stabilize the compressor blade (50) during additive and subtractive manufacturing processes.
