Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An integrated additive manufacturing cell (IAMC) (101) that combines conventional manufacturing technologies with additive manufacturing processes is disclosed. Individual IAMCs (101) may be configured and optimized for specific part families of complex components, or other industrial applications. The IAMCs incorporate features that reduce hardware cost and time and allow for local alloy tailoring for material properties optimization in complex components. In one embodiment the IMAC (101) comprises an enclosed central manufacturing cell (103) having a plurality of access ports (105). A mechanical and electrical port interface is associated with each access port (105) to couple power, communications and mechanical utilities with an external module (107...115).
