COMPONENTS HAVING VIBRATION DAMPERS ENCLOSED THEREIN AND METHODS OF FORMING SUCH COMPONENTS

摘要

A component formed by an additive manufacturing process includes a body and a first vibration damper. The body is formed from an additive manufacturing material, and defines at least a first cavity completely enclosed within the body. The first vibration damper is disposed within the first cavity. The first vibration damper includes a flowable medium and a first solidified element formed from the additive manufacturing material. The flowable medium surrounds the first solidified element.
