Hybrid platform combines CNC/milling with ultrasonic metal foil layering
Fabrisonic’s SonicLayer 1600 is a hybrid platform that can execute simultaneous additive and subtractive manufacturing capabilities. Fabrisonic’s ultrasonic platform employs sound waves to merge layers of metal foil.
The SonicLayer 1600 includes the additive-manufacturing ability with a mid-sized CNC/milling platform in the same machine. It was one of the pieces of technology on display at Rapid + TCT 2023.
