1. A method, comprising:
providing a layer of powder material on a hollow substrate comprising pressure side skin, suction side skin, a rib connecting the pressure side skin to the suction side skin, and protruding rib material protruding from the rib and past the suction and pressure side skins; and traversing an energy beam across the layer of powder material to form a cladding layer around and bonded to the protruding rib material, wherein the cladding layer defines a layer of an airfoil skin.
