A method of additive manufacturing including defining contiguous portions over a ceiling of a cavity of a part, including a central portion defined entirely by first edges, and peripheral portions defined by second edges and by a portion of a frontier of the ceiling. Defining a capital by facets that bear against the first edges and that converge towards an apex, and defining a slender support that extends from the capital to a cavity floor while being centered on the apex. For each peripheral portion, defining a capital by facets that bear against the second edges and that converge towards a terminal edge extending in a plane that is normal to a wall of the cavity, and defining a rib support that extends in the normal plane between the terminal edge and a wall of the cavity. Manufacturing the part including the cavity while making the supports and capitals.
