A method of fabricating a variable geometry space filling insert for a ceramic matrix composite component includes arranging a plurality of fiber bodies (26A) into a preform insert (12A), applying a polymer binder to the plurality of fiber bodies (26A), tr...

The method involves providing two components, where the former component is made of fiber composite material. The perform is connected with the latter component during the prefabrication phase in a form-fit manner. The latter component is assigned to a mol...
