Abstract

A carrier arrangement () comprises a carrier element () having a carrier surface () and a plurality of supporting elements () attached to the carrier element (), wherein each supporting element () has a supporting surface () extending from the carrier surface () of the carrier element () and being adapted to interact with a first surface () of a component () to be repaired. The carrier arrangement () further comprises a plurality of clamping elements (), wherein at least a part of the clamping elements () are releasably attachable to the carrier element () in such a manner that a clamping surface () of the clamping elements (), which is adapted to interact with a second surface () of a component () to be repaired, faces the supporting surface () of an associated supporting element () so as to sandwich the component () to be repaired therebetween in such a manner that the component () is fixed to the carrier element () with a repair site () of the component () facing away from the carrier surface () of the carrier element (). A fastening device () of the carrier arrangement () is adapted to interact with a corresponding fastening device () of an apparatus () for repairing components () by selectively irradiating layers of a raw material powder applied to the repair sites () of the components () with electromagnetic or particle radiation.
