Hybrid manufacturing is a cutting-edge production approach that combines additive manufacturing (3D printing) with traditional subtractive processes like milling or machining. This innovative technique leverages the advantages of both methods, enabling the creation of complex and highly customized parts with improved efficiency and precision.

Additive manufacturing is used to build intricate geometries and intricate details, while subtractive processes are employed to refine the surfaces and achieve precise dimensions. Hybrid manufacturing finds applications in aerospace, medical, and automotive industries, where it offers the flexibility to produce intricate components with reduced material waste and faster production cycles. It also allows for mixed-alloy components.
