Implementation of Sacrificial Support Structures for Hybrid Manufacturing of Thin Walls

Thin-walled features can be difficult to produce with traditional machining methods which often rely on excess stock material for stiffness. This challenge is increased in hybrid manufacturing where the feature is already near net shape before machining. Significant workpiece deflection can result i...
