Hybrid Manufacturing
The Hybrid Manufacturing is the blend of subtractive and additive manufacturing processes.
Additive manufacturing processes have seen nowadays as an upward trend in complex and structurally sound industrial applications.
At the same time, there is still an open ground in modelling and simulation techniques when applied to these processes.

Commercial Solutions A quick reuse of conventional material removal model
without an realistic additive features
Simplified deposition track road shape
Mike Nicholson, Sales & Marketing Director of MachineWorks says, "We have always been able to deliver material addition as well as material removal but recently we have seen the demand for additive simulation rocketing".

5 Axis Cladding on Blade Tip
Import a scanned blade model in STL format
Automatic generate 3 axis milling, 3-5 axis cladding and 5 axis machining toolpath
Simulate 3 axis milling to remove the tip
Simulate 3-5 axis cladding to build the tip
Simulate 5 axis machining to clean the remaining stock
