Abstract
A method of making a component includes creating a computer file defining the component in layers, the component including: a body including a sealing portion; and an abradable seal extending from the sealing portion; and building the component using an additive manufacturing process that builds the component on a layer-by-layer basis such that the abradable seal is integral to the body.
