Abstract
A method for creating a metal reinforcement for a leading or trailing edge of a turbine engine blade including a reinforcement foot and head, the method including: creating a plurality of V-shaped tapered elements that form different parts of the metal reinforcement so that the metal reinforcement is divided into a plurality of parts distributed between the foot and the head; positioning the parts on equipment that is shaped like the leading or trailing edge of the turbine engine blade; and rigidly connecting the different parts so as to form the complete profile of the one-piece metal reinforcement the by recombining the different parts.
