Abstract

A method of manufacture is provided during which a component is scanned using a computed tomography machine to provide scan data. The component includes a first member and a second member. A first member aperture extends through the first member to the second member. Aperture data is determined for the first member aperture based on the scan data. A center of the scanned geometry is located. An eigen vector is determined for the scanned geometry at the center. An exterior point of intersection between an exterior surface of the second member and an axis is located. The axis is coincident with the center and determined using the eigen vector. A second member aperture is formed in the second member according to a formation operation that aligns the second member aperture being formed with the first member aperture in the first member.
