The new art of manufacturing – going beyond 3D printing
NX CAM is leading the industry with support for new hybrid additive manufacturing technologies, where additive manufacturing (metal deposition) is incorporated into a traditional machine tool environment. By building up complex geometries using additive manufacturing, including internal cavities, then machining them for tight tolerances as they are built using subtractive manufacturing, you can manufacture new classes of parts or consolidate many setups into one with this new hybrid additive manufacturing process.
- Prototype: Creating prototypes accounts for most of the 3D printing and stereo lithography processes to date. Allowing you to quickly evaluate prototypes will continue to be a strength of additive and hybrid additive technologies.
- Production: New laser sintering (powder bed) capabilities are moving manufacturers toward using additive manufacturing approaches for part production. The hybrid additive manufacturing techniques will accelerate this trend.
- Repair: By combining metal deposition and traditional metal cutting into one machine environment, possibilities for repair and refurbishment are wide open. Hybrid additive manufacturing is an ideal solution for this type of work.
