The ‘additive’ technology in these hybrid systems typically employ a category of additive manufacturing technologies called ‘direct energy deposition’ (DED), of which there are subcategories based on the type of material being deposited, or the source of thermal energy used to melt and consolidate the material. To make a ‘hybrid’ process, the DED systems are incorporated into traditional subtractive (i.e., metal-cutting) machining centers.
