Hybrid additive manufacturing uses additive manufacturing to
build a component and then uses subtractive manufacturing( lathe or
CNC, turning or milling) to bring the object under desired
tolerance limit. So it offers the advantage of better tolerance
limit than additive manufacturing.
Hybrid manufacturing has better and higher deposition rate,
hence the speed of production increase without any compromise in
quality of the product.
The retrofitting in hybrid manufacturing is larger than that of
simple additive manufacturing, so a large and complex product can
be manufactured using hybrid technology.
The product developed using hybrid technology has higher factor
of safety and smaller product cycle than additive
manufacturing.
