Zusammenfassung:	A hinge assembly (100) and a method (300) of additively manufacturing the same are provided. The hinge assembly (100) includes a hub (110) defining a body (112) and a first mounting arm (114) and a second mounting arm (116) each projecting from the body (112). The first mounting arm (114) and the second mounting arm (116) are spaced from one another and define a hinge axis (HA). The hinge assembly (100) also includes a rotatable member or vane (140) rotatably coupled with the hub (110) and positioned between the first mounting arm (114) and the second mounting arm (116). The rotatable member (140) defines a vane hinge member or hinge member (150) having a first nesting feature (166) shaped complementary to a portion the first mounting arm (114) and a second nesting feature (168) shaped complementary to a portion of the second mounting arm (116) of the hub (110) to nest the hinge member (150) between the first mounting arm (114) and the second mounting arm (116). The hub (110) and the rotatable member (140) are simultaneously additively manufactured as distinct, but inseparable monolithic components. L'invention concerne un ensemble charnière (100) et un procédé (300) de fabrication additive de celui-ci. L'ensemble charnière (100) comprend un moyeu (110) définissant un corps (112) et un premier bras de montage (114) et un deuxième bras de montage (116), chacun dépassant du corps (112). Le premier bras de montage (114) et le deuxième bras de montage (116) sont espacés l'un de l'autre et définissent un axe de charnière (HA). L'ensemble charnière (100) comprend également un élément rotatif, ou une pale, (140) couplé en rotation au moyeu (110) et positionné entre le premier bras de montage (114) et le deuxième bras de montage (116). L'élément rotatif (140) définit un élément de charnière de pale ou un élément de charnière (150) comportant un premier élément d'emboîtement (166) de forme complémentaire à une partie du premier bras de montage (114) et un deuxième élément d'emboîtement (168) de forme complémentaire à une partie du deuxième bras de montage (116) du moyeu (110) pour emboîter l'élément charnière (150) entre le premier bras de montage (114) et le deuxième bras de montage (116). Le moyeu (110) et l'élément rotatif (140) sont fabriqués simultanément par fabrication additive en tant que composants monolithiques distincts mais inséparables.
