Abstract

The invention provides a machine for grinding a work-piece using a grinding tool. The machine comprises a motor for rotating a spindle having a work-piece holder for holding the work-piece. The machine further provides a tool post for mounting and maneuvering the grinding tool relative to the work-piece. The machine includes a print system for printing printable material to the work-piece via additive manufacturing. The printed material may be used to customize a shape of the work-piece after the work-piece has been grinded or turned in the machine. This combination allows for a reduced machine footprint and increased product accuracy.
