摘要：
According to the present disclosure, a Multi-Station Multi-Axis Hybrid Layered Manufacturing (MSMA-HLM) system is disclosed. The present disclosure enables different levels of process hybridization and integration of multiple technologies. The Multi-Station Multi-Axis Hybrid Layered Manufacturing system comprises a base-structure (2000). Further a super-structure (1000) may be mounted on the base-structure (2000). The system may further comprise a 4-axis platform (3000) mounted on the base structure (2000). The 4-axis platform (3000) may be further configured to traverse in Y and Z direction and further comprises a tilting table (3400). The various levels of process hybridization may comprise of an optimal use of: different modes of manufacturing like subtractive(-)/additive(+)/ transformative(0); different joining methods like thermal (MIG/TIG/laser/EB), or non-thermal (Binder); different kinematics like 3-axis, 5-axis, serial, or parallel); different layering strategies like horizontal/conformal; and different form(wire/powder)/size of raw-stock.
