Localized rework using powder bed fusion generated segments

A method of repairing a stator stage for use with a turbine engine, comprising:

• receiving the stator stage including a plurality of stator vanes disposed between an outer diameter and an inner diameter, the stator stage having a first defect identified on a first segment of the stator stage, the first segment including a first portion of the outer diameter, a first portion of the inner diameter, and a first stator vane;
• removing the first segment from the stator stage forming a void in the stator stage, the void defined by a first edge of the outer diameter and an opposing second edge of the outer diameter and a first edge of the inner diameter and an opposing second edge of the inner diameter;
• manufacturing a second segment including a second portion of a second outer diameter, a second portion of a second inner diameter, and a second stator vane;
• and
• attaching the second segment to the stator stage to fill the void, including attaching the second portion of the second outer diameter to the first edge of the outer diameter and the second edge of the outer diameter and attaching the second portion of the second inner diameter to the first edge of the inner diameter and the second edge of the inner diameter.
