Abstract
A method for manufacturing at least one portion of a part using successive deposition of layers, involving the steps of: a) depositing a first layer of a molten metal on a substrate such that a first metal strip is formed on the substrate; b) depositing a second layer of a molten metal on the first strip such that a second metal strip is formed on the first strip; and c) repeating steps a) and then b) for each new metal layer to be deposited on a preceding strip until the at least one portion of the part has been formed. The method may further include step d) compressing the formed bead after performing n instances of step c), n being greater than or equal to 1. The step of compressing the formed bead may be performed before the complete cooling of said bead.
