Inlet lip skin manufacturing method

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an inlet lip skin part according to a nominal definition comprising dimensions of the lip skin and associated tolerances, the method comprising the steps of: a) obtaining at least one blank from at least one metal sheet; b) deforming the at least one blank into an intermediate part; and c) machining a first surface of the intermediate part with a first machining path, said first machining path being independent of the real dimensions of the intermediate part, and being based on the nominal definition of the lip skin part, so as to obtain a semi-machined part, and d) machining a second surface of the semi-machined part with a second machining path, said second machining path being based on real dimensions of the semi-machined part and the nominal definition of the lip skin part.
