Abstract: A method for creating a blade (11) for a turbo-engine and such a blade are disclosed. Components (19) of the blade are produced by an additive production method such as selective laser melting or fusion, while a main body (18) is produced by casting, for example. The blade components (19) may consist of a different material than the basic body (18). The components or body may carry functions such as serving as drainage slots (24). Expense related to the use of additive production methods occurs only for the components (19) in which a complicated geometry, for example, must be implemented. The remaining components in the form of the main body (18), comprising the blade (27), the blade foot (28) and the blade head (29), can be cost-effectively implemented as a cast part or a sheet metal part.

Abstract: A method of producing a turbine blade is provided, wherein the turbine blade is produced by an additive production method. Cavities and/or lattice structures can be produced in one and the same process. The additive production method also allows drainage slots, heating openings, and/or other holes or, as the case may be, recesses to be provided in the turbine blade while the turbine blade is being produced. Holes can furthermore be furnished completely or partially with a lattice structure.
