Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a method of producing a guide vane, the method comprising a step of fabricating at least a portion of a metal body of the guide vane by additive fabrication, with at least one outside surface thereof presenting a plurality of cavities; and a step of filling said cavities with a material of lower density than the metal body in order to form at least one substantially smooth airfoil surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A production method of producing a guide vane, the method comprising: fabricating at least a portion of a metal body of the guide vane by additive fabrication, the metal body including a metal frame surrounding a cellular core including at least one outside surface presenting a plurality of cavities opening to at least one of a suction side or a pressure side of the guide vane; placing the metal body in a mold; filling said cavities with a synthetic mate…
