Zusammenfassung:Methods of fabricating wind turbine blades, leading edge protection surfaces of wind turbine blades and wind turbine protection shields using coreactive additive manufacturing. The blades, surfaces (605), and protection shields can include a single layer or multiple layers of a cured composition applied using coreactive manufacturing such as three-dimensional printing. Methods of repairing leading edge (601) surfaces of wind turbine blades include applying one or more layers of a coreactive composition onto the damaged leading edge surfaces using coreactive additive manufacturing or applying a leading edge protection shield onto a damaged leading edge (601) of a wind turbine blade.
