Liou received the award at the Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing 2009 Conference in Schaumburg, Ill., on May 12.
The paper discusses applications of a hybrid metal manufacturing system which combines the best traits of additive manufacturing processes and conventional machining operations. The hybrid system can directly produce finished metal products or parts for high-performance applications that withstand high stress or high temperature.
Frank and Mary,
