The invention refers to a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional metallic article/component made of a Ni-, Co-, Fe-based superalloy or combinations thereof, entirely or partly, by a powder based additive manufacturing process. During the step of performing powder melting by scanning a dual laser setup is used, where two laser beams of different beam properties are combined in the same machine and by adjusted beam profiling and integration of a suitable beam switch in a controlled manner a switching between two different laser beam diameters is performed. In each layer the laser beam with the smaller diameter scans the whole area and in every kth layer, with k>1, the laser beam with the larger diameter scans the area where a coarse grain size is needed thereby remelting the area with fine grain sizes. With such a manufacturing method higher lifetime and operation performances of metallic parts and prototypes can be reached.
