The present disclosure relates to manufacturing methods. The teachings thereof may be used to manufacture a component in which the component is applied by thermal spraying with a coating jet carrying building material. For example, a method for manufacturing a component may include: producing a mold for the component layer-by-layer on a building platform using a generative process incorporating data describing the mold; building the component in the mold by filling the mold with a building material using thermal spraying with a coating jet; and removing the mold from the component.

Method for manufacturing a component by thermal spraying

A method for producing a shell-shaped component and a production system for producing such a component are disclosed. Thee component is produced by a cold gas stream by cold gas spraying. The particles of the cold gas stream are applied to the edge of the component being produced, wherein simultaneously a supporting body is used, which supports the component only at the point of incidence of the cold gas stream. In this way, the form of the component can be shaped by suitably moving the supporting body and the cold spray nozzle, without having to produce a core that fills the entire volume of the shell-shaped component. Thus, the method may be especially economical for small quantities, because the supporting body can be used universally for components of different geometries.
