A method of additive manufacturing includes additively manufacturing a first section for a component, wherein the first section is provided with a position feature, additively manufacturing a second section for the component on the first section, and, in case that a build failure occurs during the additive manufacture of the second section, machining back a present buildup until the position feature is revealed, additively manufacturing the second section separately from the first section, thereby providing the second section with a corresponding position feature, and connecting the first section and the second section to provide the component.
