Aspects of advanced technology for individual jet engine components repair are discussed. The technological solutions lie in the domain of cutting path planning and machining of difficult-to-cut materials. The paper presents an integrated process chain for multi-axis high speed milling of airfoil materials like titanium or nickel alloys. The main development items are based on a 3D optoelectronic sensor system, simulation and cutting path planning system and a milling reference model. The results of these research developments are pursued within an ESPRIT project in the domain Intelligent Equipment and Control
