| 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, subtractive, and inspection 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, the science of interleaving multiple operations is complex. Fundamental understanding of factors like residual stress, microstructure evolution, and geometric distortion in these complex processes remains the primary barrier to success. This presentation details how research into the fundamental understanding of hybrid processes is being translated to real-world applications. Covering specific developments like a wire-arc hybrid machine installed in ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source and the development of the world's largest metal-wire laser DED hybrid system, the audience will gain an appreciation of the challenges and future opportunities for hybrid AM systems. |
