Abstract

Sheet based process uses machining but is generally dealt in the realm of additive manufacturing (AM). It brings a question whether sheet based process is an AM and if it is not an AM then whether it is hybrid AM. It could be easy to know whether it is AM, but it could not be so easy to know whether it is hybrid AM because there exists no criteria and definition for hybrid AM. This chapter applies the concept of hybrid manufacturing to sheet based process to check whether it is hybrid AM. Various sheet based processes such as ultrasonic consolidation, laminated object manufacturing and friction stir AM are briefly explained.
