| Abstract Scope |
The convergence of multiple manufacturing techniques and processing domains has enabled new uses of existing manufacturing equipment in novel workflows. For example, integration of additive and subtractive techniques by means of hybrid manufacturing has enabled manufacturers to reduce labor and material costs by mitigating disjointed processing. While these systems are more capable than single-purpose systems, the science of interleaving multiple operations is complex. A lack of fundamental understanding of factors like residual stress, microstructure evolution, and geometric distortion in these complex processes remains the primary barrier to success. However, recent work has shown that hybrid manufacturing has the potential to enable localized control of material performance characteristics. This presentation details how research into the fundamental understanding of hybrid processes is being translated to real-world applications. By covering specific developments like the world's largest metal-wire laser-directed energy deposition hybrid system and novel programming strategies, the audience will gain an appreciation of the challenges and future opportunities for hybrid additive manufacturing systems.
