Hybrid Multimaterial Additive Manufacturing DED-LB

Hybrid multimaterial additive manufacturing represents an evolution in advanced manufacturing processes, integrating different technologies to produce optimized industrial components. This approach combines conventional manufacturing (casting, forming, forging, etc.) with additive manufacturing using multimaterial DED-LB and CNC machining. As a result, components with enhanced properties, new functionalities, or adaptations to specific sector, application, or product requirements can be obtained.
This technology focuses on the use of commercially available and compatible materials, ensuring process feasibility and repeatability in production. The development of this solution has enabled the validation of both the manufacturing method and the materials used, complying with applicable standards and regulations in demanding industrial sectors.
The use of hybrid multimaterial additive manufacturing facilitates the production of components with different types of metallic alloys, adding functionality or production flexibility within a single structure. This optimizes performance without the need for additional assemblies. Furthermore, integrating multiple materials into a single component significantly improves mechanical strength, durability, and performance in demanding operational environments. At the same time, it reduces costs by avoiding the use of an expensive material throughout the entire part, applying it only where required.
