Abstract

A system and methods for enhanced printing to manufacture 3D objects implement optimized utilization of additive printing and subtractive laser beam machining, enabling enhanced, efficient and effective manufacturing of 3D objects. Dynamically allocating the operations and the sequence of operations between additive printing and laser beam machining for each layer of a 3D object being manufactured enables optimizing manufacturing time, power consumption, and material consumption to manufacture 3D objects.
