Abstract

A method for producing a profiled part from a blank, wherein the cross-sectional profile of the part to be produced differs in some portions both quantitatively and qualitatively from the cross-sectional profile of the blank, so that different amounts of material must be removed between a starting profile of the blank and a desired final profile of the part includes pre-shaping and finish-grinding the part to be produced in one chucking position with at least one profiled grinding wheel. The blank is translated and rotated relative to the at least one profiled grinding wheel during the pre-shaping step for giving the blank approximately a desired profile. The finish-grinding step is performed at least partially after the pre-shaping step for smoothing surfaces and producing the final profile to accurate dimensions. A turbomachine blade, an intermediate product for the turbomachine blade and a method of manufacturing the interim product are also provided.
