Hybrid Additive Manufacturing: Techniques, Applications and Benefits explains the fundamentals of hybrid AM, definitions, classifications, and principles, as well as key techniques of hybrid AM, its applications, design guidelines, and benefits, with emphasis on key aspects of the system integration process. The core of this subject is in describing how to overcome inherent processing limitations of layer-by-layer AM through the integration of secondary post-processing such as machining or heat treatment. As a result hybrid AM plays a critical role in accelerating the adoption of AM in established design and manufacturing activities. The applications of hybrid AM in both metals and polymers are discussed in this book, as are geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing, material property enhancement, non-traditional surface finishing, in-situ sequential hybrid processing, and integrated process planning. This book will serve not only as an introduction to hybrid AM but also as a handbook for researchers and engineers in mechanical, manufacturing, industrial, electronics, and materials science, thanks to its interdisciplinary approach and detailed case studies. Explains how hybrid manufacturing processes can be used to achieve enhanced material properties and functionality Describes the significance of hybrid additive manufacturing to different parts of the process chain Uses case studies to show how innovative companies are using this technology, how they have overcome challenges they encountered, and the benefits they have experienced

This book focuses on the emerging additive manufacturing technology and its applications beyond state-of-the-art, fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. It also discusses the development of a hybrid, integrated process that combines additive and subtractive operations in a single-step platform, allowing CAD-to-Part production with freeform shapes using long or continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. The book covers the entire value chain of this next-generation technology, from part design and materials composition to transformation stages, product evaluation, and end-of-life studies. Moreover, it addresses the following engineering issues: • Design rules for hybrid additive manufacturing; • Thermoplastic compounds for high-temperature and -strength applications; • Advanced extrusion heads and process concepts; • Hybridisation strategies; • Software ecosystems for hAM design, pre-processing, process planning, emulating and multi-axis processing; • 3D path generators for hAM based on a multi-objective optimisation algorithm that matches the recent curved adaptive slicing method with a new transversal scheme; • hAM parameters, real-time monitoring and closed-loop control; • Multiparametric nondestructive testing (NDT) tools customised for FRTP AM parts; • Sustainable manufacturing processes validated by advanced LCA/LCC models.

Automation in production of 3D printed parts, hybrid additive and subtractive machines, and post-processing of 3D printed parts are rapidly growing fields. Given the numerous advancements in the 3D printing industry as reported in this thesis, the lack of availability of a Do It Yourself (DIY) and low-cost hybrid additive and subtractive unit is identified and tackled. This thesis covers the mechanical design of a low-cost DIY, hybrid additive and subtractive unit using a robot arm to remove the 3D printing support structures. Since the removal of printed support structures has not been investigated in the scientific literature, in a first step, different cutting tools and speeds were analyzed with a hand-held Dremel 4000 power tool with regard to cut quality and cutting forces. An off-the-shelf tool bit, a High-Speed steel cutter, at 15000 rpm yielded the best results. Furthermore, a hybrid machine was conceptualized, consisting of additive and subtractive subsystems. The constraints are a working volume of 6 cubic inches and costs below $5000. The additive system is based on following components: X, Y and Z Motor Holders, Filament Holder, and 3D Printing Arm, which can be printed by the DIY user, and off-the-shelf hardware like NEMA 17 stepper motors. The subtractive system is based on the following components: Motor Holder, Linkbot Mounting Interface, and Connector Arm, which are also designed to be 3D printed by the DIY users. For both subsystems, the off-the-shelf parts are specified, and technical drawings for 3D printing and assembly are provided. The critical 3D printed parts are analyzed with regard to their maximum distortion and strength during operation.

Capitalizing on the rapid growth and reduced costs of laser systems, laser cladding is gaining momentum, and in some instances replacing conventional techniques of depositing thin films because it can accommodate a great variety of materials, achieve uniform thickness and precise widths of layers, and provide improved resistance to wear and corrosion in the final product. Laser cladding technology also offers a revolutionary layered manufacturing and prototyping technique that can fabricate complex components without intermediate steps. Laser Cladding reviews the parameters, techniques and equipment, process modeling and control, and the physical metallurgy of alloying and solidification during laser cladding. The authors clarify the interconnections laser cladding has with CAD/CAM design; automation and robotics; sensors, feedback, and control; physics, material science, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and powder metallurgy to promote further development and improved process quality of this growing technology. As the first book entirely dedicated to the topic, it also offers a history of its development and a guide to applications and market opportunities. While a considerable part of Laser Cladding is dedicated to industrial applications, this volume brings together valuable information illustrated with real case studies based on the authors' vast experience, and research and analysis in the field to provide a timely source for both academia and industry.

The machinability of powder metallurgy steels is lower compared with wrought steels of appropriate composition and/or mechanical properties. This is due to a larger number of material and processing variables affecting the final properties of sintered materials. The aim of the book is to present knowledge for an overview of all interacting factors in machining, including those applied for improving machinability. They include the properties of basic plain iron and alloyed powders, various additions, compacting and sintering conditions. The effect of porosity, individual alloying elements and microstructure is considered.
