Abstract
A method of forming an aerospace component, the method including: forming a first subcomponent by an additive layer manufacturing (ALM) process, the first subcomponent having an inner surface defining an inner space; performing a non-ALM machining process to modify a portion of the inner surface of the first subcomponent; and forming a second subcomponent by an ALM process, the second subcomponent being arranged to close the inner space to complete the component.
