Abstract

Additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) provides a solid-state approach to metal deposition that does not rely on local melting and solidification, but rather on kinetic energy and plastic flow. In this study, AFSD is combined with structured light scanning, turning, and milling to produce metal components while considering the unique requirements imposed by the hybrid manufacturing process sequences. Two demonstrations are presented which include: 1) a cylindrical build plate selection to enable coordinate system transfer between deposition and turning of a hollow cone; and 2) intermittent deposition-machining operations with structured light scanning to fabricate a two-sided hexagon-cylinder geometry.
