PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a a method 300 for qualifying airfoil blades 10.;SOLUTION: The method 300 comprises a step of securing the airfoil blade 10 into a fixture 112, a step of taking digital measurements of the airfoil blade 10, a step of comparing the digital measurements of the airfoil blade 10 with a measurements of a target model, a step of calculating deviations between the digital measurement of the airfoil blade 10 and the measurements of the target model, a step of determining required treatment for the airfoil blade 10 to conform with the measurements of the target model, a step of directing a reworking system 234 to provide the required treatment to the airfoil blade 10, and a step of repeating the previous steps until it is determined that no more treatment is required.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
