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".

Our solutions:
A unified hybrid manufacturing model
Multiple materials and surface textures
 Composite, surface painting, marking, ……
Multiple processes
 3-5 axis machining
 2.5 axis 3D printing, such as SLA, SLS, LOM,……
 3-5 axis cladding, welding……
