Hybrid additive and subtractive manufacturing: evolution of the concept and last trends in research and industry
M.A. Rabalo, Eva María Rubio, Beatriz de Agustina, Ana María Camacho
Abstract
Hybrid manufacturing, understood as a combination of additive and subtractive manufacturing, arises from the need to overcome the limitations of both types of manufacturing. The concept goes beyond the mere post-processing of additive manufacturing parts by machining, becoming a new paradigm, with a synergistic result of great projection. The article deals, with the support of the scientific literature, the evolution of the concepts involved and identifies the main research and industry challenges. It presents among its conclusions a consistent definition of Hybrid Manufacturing AM/SM and points out the crucial points for its development.
