    | Abstract Scope | 
    
Additive manufacturing (AM) provides a tremendous opportunity to synergistically couple materials, design, and manufacturing strategies. In the current effort, large-scale directed energy deposition additive manufacturing and hybrid manufacturing processes, along with in-situ process monitoring techniques have been implemented to help augment and complement the existing U. S. casting and forging industry. Progress in novel manufacturing methodologies, materials evaluation protocols, and qualification approaches for relevant ferrous and non-ferrous alloys would be discussed. The overarching objective is to establish a low-cost approach to enable rapid insertion of alternate manufacturing modalities into the small and medium sized enterprises to support the defense industrial base.   |
