Hybrid processes in manufacturing

B Lauwers, F Klocke, A Klink, AE Tekkaya… - CIRP annals, 2014 - Elsevier
Hybrid manufacturing processes are based on the simultaneous and controlled interaction of
process mechanisms and/or energy sources/tools having a significant effect on the process …

Selective laser melting of iron-based powder

…, P Mercelis, M Rombouts, B Lauwers - Journal of materials …, 2004 - Elsevier
Selective laser melting (SLM) is driven by the need to process near full density objects with
