An additive manufacturing method for an aircraft part having a polymer body and a metallic structural feature includes generating data defining the aircraft part with the metallic structural feature. A build process is determined for the polymer body of the aircraft part. The polymer body of the aircraft part is manufactured. A build path for a near net shape metallic structure is determined. The near net shape metallic structure is manufactured using an additive manufacturing process to direct metallic powder from a cold-spray nozzle on at least a section of the polymer body. The near net shape metallic structure is machined to provide the aircraft part having the polymer body and the metallic structural feature.
