Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hybrid manufacturing, the combination of additive manufacturing (AM), and subtractive machining technologies within one machine system, is becoming an increasingly prominent manufacturing technology, overcoming both surface quality and geometrical accuracy limitations of AM and the geometrical complexity limitations imposed by subtractive technologies. Commercialization of hybrid technologies is moving ahead at pace, with many of the CNC machining technology OEMs now providing hybrid capable systems in their portfolio, and many others are offering retrofittable upgrades to CNC platforms to offer hybrid capabilities. For this Special Issue of Metals, we welcome reviews and articles in the areas of materials, process modeling, process technology, and techniques and applications of hybrid AM.
