Abstract:
A method of fabricating a combustor thermal shield comprising a combustor panel, a cooling feature, and an attachment feature, the combustor thermal shield to be used in a gas turbine engine combustor, includes shaping a sheet of material used to form the combustor panel. The method also includes additively manufacturing the cooling feature onto the sheet of material forming the combustor panel. The method also includes attaching the attachment feature to the sheet of material forming the combustor panel. The method also includes curving the sheet of material forming the combustor panel to achieve a curve profile according to a design of the gas turbine engine combustor.
