The Sum of Its Parts: CAM Plus Additive Equals Powerful Hybrid Manufacturing

Fabricating & Metal Work

Traditionally, manufacturing methods have been subtractive, centered around material removal. But over the past two decades, additive manufacturing (AM) has become increasingly prevalent in industry. The combination of additive and subtractive manufacturing on the same machine is known as hybrid additive manufacturing.
