1. A method for restoring a worn engine component comprising the steps of: removing damaged material from a worn surface of the component thereby exposing a weld surface; measuring the component at the weld surface to generate a first plurality of component measurements; developing a first deformation component geometry based on the first plurality of component measurements; depositing a filler material on the weld surface; measuring the component at a surface of the filler material to generate a second plurality of component measurements; developing a second deformation component geometry based on the second plurality of component measurements; and machining the component to the second deformation component geometry.
