Hybrid Additive Manufacturing

Hybrid Additive Manufacturing: Techniques, Applications and Benefits explains the fundamentals of hybrid AM and its definitions, classifications and principles. In addition, it covers key techniques in hybrid AM, its applications, design guidelines, and benefits, with an emphasis on key aspects of the system integration process. 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 as an introduction to hybrid AM for researchers and engineers in mechanical, manufacturing, industrial, electronics and materials science.
