Abstract: A method for inspecting a component made using an additive manufacturing process, the component having an internal conduit, is disclosed. In various embodiments, the method includes the steps of: attaching a fluid-blocking header to the component, the fluid-blocking header having an internal conformal surface configured to mate with an external conformal surface of the component; introducing a plugging media into the internal conduit; activating the fluid-blocking header to freeze the plugging media in a vicinity of the fluid-blocking header; pressurizing the internal conduit of the component; and analyzing a fluid flow characteristic at an outlet of the component to assess an occurrence of a blockage within the internal conduit.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing method for an aircraft part having a polymer body and a metallic structural feature includes generating data defining the aircraft part with the metallic structural feature. A build process is determined for the polymer body of the aircraft part. The polymer body of the aircraft part is manufactured. A build path for a near net shape metallic structure is determined. The near net shape metallic structure is manufactured using an additive manufacturing process to direct metallic powder from a cold-spray nozzle on at least a section of the polymer body. The near net shape metallic structure is machined to provide the aircraft part having the polymer body and the metallic structural feature.
