This relates to a method for manufacturing an aircraft or spacecraft component comprising a crack stopper using additive layer manufacturing. In a step of the method, a shell-like structural component comprising a first material is provided. In another step, a hole in the shell-like structural component is provided. In yet another step of the method, a second material is applied to a first surface of the shell-like structural component by additive layer manufacturing such that a first elongated protrusion or a circular protrusion on the first surface of the shell-like structural component is generated to form a first crack stopper. This also relates to an aircraft or spacecraft component manufactured using additive layer manufacturing and to the use of an aircraft component as structural component in an aircraft.
