Appl. No.:

16/853078

Inventors:

- Kansas City MO, US
Nicholas Green - Lees Summit MO, US

Assignee:

Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, LLC - Kansas City MO

International Classification:

B23K 26/342

Abstract:

An additive manufacturing system and method for forming a part of dissimilar materials. The additive manufacturing system may include a build platform, a recoater for dispensing build powder onto the build platform, an energy source, a foil feed assembly, and a controller for controlling actuation of these components. The method of forming the part may include the steps of depositing a layer of build powder onto the build platform surface, melting selected portions of the layer of build powder, applying a sheet of foil over the layer of build powder, melting selected portions of the sheet of foil onto the layer of build powder, removing the sheet of foil from the layer of build powder, and then lowering the build platform surface to prepare for deposition of a next layer of the build powder. These steps are then repeated one or more times, thereby forming the part.
