Abstract

The timely fabrication of large, complex metallic structures is a persistent challenge for America's industrial base. Delivery schedules for large parts, i.e., 0.5 m cube and larger, are routinely defined in months and years, introducing unacceptable risk and cost for most products. Ongoing work at the University of Tennessee (UT) has been addressing these challenges through the development of a large-scale hybrid metal manufacturing system, Figure 1, which combines multi-material metal inert gas (MIG) deposition, fringe projection scanning, part handling and five-axis machining.
