Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, revolutionizes fabrication by constructing objects layer by layer, guided by 3D digital computer models.
Additive manufacturing (AM)—the process of making a product layer by layer instead of using traditional molding or subtractive methods—has become one of the
Using computer aided design (CAD) or 3D object scanners, additive manufacturing allows for the creation of objects with precise geometric shapes. These are built layer by layer, as with a 3D printing process, which is in contrast to traditional manufacturing that often requires machining or other techniques to remove surplus material.
Additive manufacturing (AM), often known as 3D printing, has revolutionized the field of manufacturing by enabling the fabrication of customized, complex 3D structures in a layer-by-layer manner. It can be categorized into seven main groups based on ISO/ASTM 52900:2021: 1) binder jetting, 2) directed energy deposition, 3) material extrusion, 4
A strength of hybrid is that it offers an additive manufacturing platform combining all these considerations. Machining is as much of the process as 3D printing, and the unification into one setup speaks to quality control. Incorporating an inspection head within the same hybrid platform can complete this sequence. 5.
