Abstract
An additive manufacturing system may include a stage, a toolhead adjustable relative to the stage, an additive manufacturing unit (AM unit) adjustably connected to the toolhead, a mechanical unit adjustably connected to the toolhead, and a controller operatively connected to the toolhead, the AM unit, and the mechanical unit. The AM unit may be configured to perform an application subprocess of a unified additive-deformation-machining (ADM) process. The mechanical unit may be configured to perform a deformation subprocess of the unified ADM process. The controller may be configured to control the toolhead, the AM unit, and the mechanical unit and to coordinate performance of the application subprocess and the deformation subprocess during the unified ADM process to produce a metal additive manufactured product having at least one of a desired property and a desired characteristic.
