摘要： In one embodiment, a system includes a deposition system that comprises an energy source, a material feed, and an active guide. The system further includes a base platform and a control system communicatively coupled to the deposition system. The control system is configured to provide instructions to the deposition system to deposit one or more layers of material from the material feed onto a baseplate coupled to the base platform, thereby creating a structure. The control system is further configured to provide instructions to the deposition system to weld the material as it is deposited from the material feed using an energy beam from the energy source and to deploy the active guide to shape the material, thereby forming at least one shaped surface of the structure.
