Abstract

A method for additively manufacturing a tip structure on a pre-existing part includes: a) placing the part in a build space of a beam-assisted additive manufacturing setup and below a transparent aligning plate, b) engraving a top contour of the part onto the aligning plate with an energy beam of the setup, c) aligning a top surface of the part such that the top surface coincides with the engraved contour, d) removing the aligning plate from the setup, and e) additively manufacturing the tip structure according to a predefined geometry on the top surface.
