Hybrid additive manufacturing using the powder bed process offers an innovative method for manufacturing components that combines the advantages of conventional and additive manufacturing techniques. The ability to combine different materials means that specific component properties can be achieved that are specifically tailored to the application.

This opens up new opportunities in the development of products with optimized mechanical and thermal properties. Another key advantage of this technology is the cost savings. By integrating conventionally manufactured components with additively manufactured parts, material and production costs can be significantly reduced. This makes hybrid manufacturing not only technologically but also economically attractive. The design freedom offered by additive components is particularly noteworthy.Complex geometries and structures that are difficult or impossible to produce using traditional manufacturing methods can be easily realized.This enables the development of innovative designs and functional components that meet the requirements of modern applications. examples of applications for this technology include casting molds with conformal cooling, which enable more efficient heat dissipation and therefore a longer service life for the molds. For PARARE in particular, hybrid production offers the possibility of manufacturing individual special tools on standard tool holders.This allows us to react flexibly to changes at short notice without losing sight of the technical improvements.

Hybrid additive manufacturing using the powder bed process is therefore a pioneering technology that offers both technological and economic advantages and opens up new possibilities in product development.
