Abstract
Both additive and hybrid manufacturing open many new
possibilities and perspectives to manufacturing but until
now the systems have been stand-alone technologies
without real industrial implementation on workshop floor.
The research is concentrated mainly in design and process
optimization, and separate part printing. Therefore,
automatic and flexible industrial production has not been
possible with current technologies. Most of the process
steps include manual work and development work is needed
especially in pre- and post-processing of the AM
machines. Some trials have been made e.g. on powder
handling and part removal from system, but real solutions
are not seen in markets yet. Also post-processes, i.e.
stress relief and other post-heat treatments, as well as
machining steps, grinding, polishing etc. need solutions.
In addition quality inspection should be included in the
total system. In the presentation the systems in the
market are analyzed giving the possibilities for
different and the current barriers hindering the
controlled automatic production are presented to give
perspective to the future work.
