Abstract
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a part, in which the following steps, controlled by a single control unit, are carried out on robotic equipment: obtaining a 3D substrate blank by additive manufacturing; acquisition by the robotic equipment of a digitized 3D image of the blank; machining by the robotic equipment of the blank to obtain a conforming 3D substrate; potential additional deposition by cold spraying onto said substrate; finishing machining of the part; the substrate is then dissolved, the blank or substrate remaining in place on the build plate during all operations preceding dissolution.
