Abstract
Systems and methods for repairing compressor blades using hybrid manufacturing techniques. A tool for repairing a compressor blade has a plurality of support bases, and a slot configured for securement of said compressor blade to said mounting tool. The tool has a pair of support bases, each of which is configured for the building of a sacrificial support thereon to stabilize the compressor blade during repair. The tool is coupled to a hybrid manufacturing machinery and the sacrificial supports stabilize the compressor blade during additive and subtractive manufacturing processes.
