Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies

Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies “HMT” is the pioneer and leader combining industrial 3D printing (also known as “Additive Manufacturing”), machining, and inspection into fully automated workflows through its award-winning and patented series of AMBIT™ printing and inspection heads. HMT is trusted by leading brands around the world to bring a new level of finesse and performance to their manufacturing operations. Upgrading a CNC machine with metal deposition gives both additive and ‘subtractive’ machining capabilities in a single system. Hybrid machines offer new technical capabilities including in-process finishing and inspection, which cannot be delivered by either technology independently. It is ideal for repairing high-value metal components and adding features onto existing parts. The AMBIT™ system is available as a retrofit for existing CNC machines or can be integrated directly into new machines with advanced functionality. Hybrid all-in-one machines significantly reduce capital costs and provide an intuitive adoption path for CNC operators. Hybrid’s groundbreaking innovations have ignited the convergence of additive with mainstream machining. This contribution to industry led to Hybrid being named as the inaugural winner of the International Additive Manufacturing Award (IAMA) in 2015, the largest 3D printing award in history.
