Hybrid (additive-subtractive) manufacturing is based on the synergy between traditional chip-removal manufacturing and additive manufacturing. ProM Facility has an innovative machine that can either use a laser for molten metal powder deposition or a 5-axis CNC for material removal.
The greater geometric freedom provided by additive manufacturing made it possible to decrease the weight of the metal frame of a pendulum ride seat. The work done by the Rovereto prototyping laboratory will become the subject of a scientific paper.
