Abstract
A field of rotary blades, and more particularly to a method of fabricating a leading edge shield for protecting such a blade. The method includes at least steps of performing initial plastic deformation on at least one sheet from a pressure side sheet and a suction side sheet, using additive fabrication to add a reinforcement with a fiber insert on at least one of the pressure and suction side sheets, closing the pressure and suction side sheets around a core after the initial plastic deformation and after adding the reinforcement, performing subsequent plastic deformation by pressing the pressure and suction side sheets against an outside surface of the core after the sheets have been closed around the core, and extracting the core.
