Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) and hybrid manufacturing processes have gained attention in production settings for the flexibility that these techniques bring to the efficient generation of three-dimensional objects. In particular, the ease of generation of contoured and customized geometries lend these technologies to idealizing their incorporation into sustainable engineering practices and medical applications. Therefore, during this presentation, we will explore the adaptation of AM and hybrid manufacturing processes to these applications with societal impact. Discussion will be tailored to highlight the capabilities and constraints that hybrid manufacturing (combining additive and subtractive techniques) present in support of sustainable engineering practices through analysis of the repair of large (and/or legacy) metal components. While assessment of the potential of AM to be tailored for personalized bedside medical applications will focus on adapting these technologies’ production rates without sacrificing the repeatability of geometrical designs. At the end, it is expected that discussion of these research endeavors demonstrate the potential for designing AM and hybrid manufacturing processes to prominently and positively impact society.
