Abstract

A method of fabricating a turbomachine blade out of a composite material including fiber reinforcement densified by a matrix, the method including making a one-piece fiber blank by three-dimensional weaving; shaping the fiber blank to obtain a one-piece fiber preform having a first portion forming a blade airfoil and root preform and at least one second portion forming a preform for an inner or outer blade platform; and densifying the preform with a matrix to obtain a composite material blade having fiber reinforcement constituted by the preform and densified by the matrix, forming a single part with incorporated inner and/or outer platform.
