Coatings· Volume 14· Issue 3

Abstract

Due to the unparalleled benefits of traditional processing techniques, additive manufacturing technology has experienced rapid development and continues to expand its applications. However, as industrial standards advance, the pressing needs for high precision, high performance, and high efficiency in the manufacturing sector have emerged as critical bottlenecks hindering the technology’s progress. Single-laser additive manufacturing methods are insufficient to meet these demands. This review presents a comprehensive exploration of metal hybrid laser additive manufacturing technology, encompassing various aspects, such as multi-process hybrid laser additive manufacturing, additive–subtractive hybrid manufacturing, multi-energy hybrid additive manufacturing, and multi-material hybrid additive manufacturing. Through a thorough examination of the principles of laser additive manufacturing technology and the concept of hybrid manufacturing, this paper investigates in depth the notable advantages of hybrid laser additive manufacturing technology. It provides valuable insights and recommendations to guide the development and research of innovative machining technologies.
