    Abstract: A process for providing a manufacturing modality for a hybrid article includes defining a model for a build surface on a part in a three dimensional space, and defining a model for an additive structure, the model including an interface surface of the additive structure that corresponds with the build surface in the three dimensional space. The process further includes orienting the x, y and z coordinates of each of the build surface of the part and the interface surface of the model in relation to a three dimensional work space, aligning contours of each of the build surface and the interface surface relative to the work space, and directing a cladding system to define toolpaths for two or more cladding layers that are defined by vertical planar segments or slices of the additive structure model.

    Abstract: An additive manufacturing system, comprises an energy source device for providing a first energy beam and a second energy beam; and a forging device comprising a forging head. The first energy beam and a substrate are configured to move relative to each other to fuse at least a portion of a material added to the surface of the substrate for forming a cladding layer on the substrate. The forging head is configured to forge the cladding layer during formation of the cladding layer. The second energy beam is configured to heat a forging area of the cladding layer.

    Abstract: A method for modeling a refurbishing geometry of a component comprises removing a portion to be refurbished from the component, thereby obtaining a truncated component, with a cut surface and a boundary line of the cut surface. Image data of the truncated component are obtained and a representation of the image data is imported into a CAD system. A CAD model of the component, for instance in an unused and nominal new condition, is provided and aligning with the imported representation of the truncated component. Points are defined on the surface of the CAD model and arranged on rows. For each row, a point on the representation of the boundary line of the cut surface closest to the row is determined, and the points in each row are displaced in a translational displacement until the row intersects the representation of the boundary line, thereby obtaining a morphed CAD model representative of the refurbishing geometry of the component.

    Abstract: A machining apparatus includes a curved outer conduit, a curved rotary electrode and a driving motor. The outer conduit has a cavity and a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the cavity. The electrode includes a flexible shaft positioned in the cavity and having a first end and a second end, and a machining head having a fluid outlet in fluid communication with the cavity and electrically connected with the first end of the flexible shaft to be powered via the flexible shaft. The motor is mechanically coupled to the second end of the flexible shaft for driving the flexible shaft to rotate. A machining system includes the machining apparatus, a power supply for powering the flexible shaft, an electrolyte supply for providing electrolyte to the fluid inlet and a machine tool onto which the outer conduit and the motor are positioned.
