1. An airfoil comprising: a body including a platform, an airfoil extending outwardly from a side of the platform and a root extending outwardly from another side of the platform, the body having one of a socket or a socket member that are connected together in an articulated joint; anda member including the other of the socket member or the socket, the socket member irremovably interlocked with the socket such that the socket member cannot be removed from the socket non-destructively. 2. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, wherein the member includes a body extending adjacent the platform. 3. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, wherein the socket is fixed on the root. 4. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, wherein the body defines a longitudinal axis and the socket is longitudinally elongated relative to the longitudinal axis. 5. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, wherein the body defines a longitudinal axis and the socket member is longitudinally elongated relative to the longitudinal axis. 6. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, wherein the member is a damper member including a damper body extending adjacent the platform. 7. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, wherein the member is a damper member including a damper body extending adjacent the platform, and the body defines a longitudinal axis and the damper body of the damper member includes an inclined bearing surface relative to the longitudinal axis. 8. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, further including a first buttress wall extending outwardly from the platform to the root and a second buttress wall extending outwardly from the platform to the root, the first buttress wall being spaced apart from the second buttress wall and the member being connected in a first articulated joint to the first buttress wall and in a second articulated joint to the second buttress wall. 9. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, wherein the member includes a body extending adjacent the platform, the body including a seal surface abutting the platform. 10. The airfoil as recited in claim 9, wherein the body has a uniform through-thickness. 11. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, wherein the member is a damper member including a damper body extending upwardly from the articulated joint toward the platform. 12. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, wherein the damper body includes an end opposed from the articulated joint, the end including an inclined bearing surface interfacing a corresponding bearing surface of the platform. 13. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, wherein the body defines a longitudinal axis and the socket member includes an enlarged head that is elongated relative to the longitudinal axis. 14. The airfoil as recited in claim 1, wherein the one of the socket or the socket member of the body is exclusively formed in the root. 15. An airfoil comprising: a body including a platform, an airfoil extending outwardly from a side of the platform and a root extending outwardly from another side of the platform; anda member connected in an articulated joint to the body, the articulated joint including a socket and a socket member movably interlocked with the socket, wherein the socket is a slot and the socket member is a button having a shank and enlarged head on the shank. 16. A turbine engine comprising: optionally, a fan;a compressor section;a combustor in fluid communication with the compressor section; anda turbine section in fluid communication with the combustor, the turbine section being coupled to drive the compressor section and the fan, andat least one of the fan, the compressor section and the turbine section including an airfoil having a body including a platform, an airfoil extending outwardly from a side of the platform and a root extending outwardly from another side of the platform, and a member connected in an articulated joint to the body, the articulated joint including a socket and a socket member movably interlocked with the socket, wherein the socket is a slot and the socket member is a button having a shank and enlarged head on the shank. 17. A method for processing an airfoil, the method comprising: depositing multiple layers of a powdered metal onto one another;joining the layers to one another with reference to data relating to a particular cross-section of an airfoil; andproducing the airfoil with a body including a platform, an airfoil extending outwardly from a side of the platform and a root extending outwardly from another side of the platform, and a member connected in an articulated joint to the body, wherein the body has one of a socket or a socket member that are connected together in the articulated joint, and the member includes the other of the socket member or the socket, the socket member irremovably interlocked with the socket such that the socket member cannot be removed from the socket non-destructively. 18. The method as recited in claim 17, wherein the articulated joint includes a socket and a socket member movably interlocked with the socket, and the socket is a slot and the socket member is a button having a shank and enlarged head on the shank. 19. A method for processing an airfoil, the method comprising: providing an airfoil that includes a body having a platform, an airfoil extending outwardly from a side of the platform and a root extending outwardly from another side of the platform;providing a damper member including a damper body; andforming an articulated joint to connect the body and a damper member together such that the damper body extends adjacent the platform, the articulated joint including a socket and a socket member movably interlocked with the socket, wherein the socket is a slot and the socket member is a button having a shank and enlarged head on the shank. 20. The method as recited in claim 19, wherein the forming includes depositing multiple layers of a powdered metal onto one another and joining the layers to one another with reference to data relating to a particular cross-section of the articulated joint. 21. The method as recited in claim 19, further including destructively removing at least a portion of a prior articulated joint of the airfoil and, in place of the prior articulated joint, forming the articulated joint.
