Claims (30)

A hybrid manufacturing process comprising:
depositing the filler material(s) by a hybrid manufacturing system via one or more addition steps to form a 3D printed part, optionally the addition steps comprising:
feeding one or more filler materials through a hollow spindle or tool of the hybrid manufacturing system;
depositing the filler material(s) on a substrate;
Normal forces, shear forces, and/or friction by the rotating shoulder of the hollow spindle or tool such that the filler material(s) and/or the substrate become malleable and/or viscoelastic in the interfacial region. causing plastic deformation of the filler material(s) and the substrate by applying a force, thereby creating the 3D printed part;
Hybridization through one or more removal steps such that surface and/or interior features are formed on and/or within the 3D printed part to form the finished part. removing material from a 3D printed part by a manufacturing system. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein the hybrid manufacturing process does not require additional tools, machines, and/or equipment to complete the finished part. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein the hybrid manufacturing process requires additional tools, machines, and/or equipment to complete the finished part. 3. The process of claim 1, further comprising shaping the 3D printed part by one or more post-building steps performed by other tools and/or machines. 5. The process of claim 4, wherein the one or more post-shaping steps comprise a calendering step. 5. The process of claim 4, wherein the one or more post-shaping steps comprise a compression step performed by and/or between one or more pairs of cold rollers. 5. The process of claim 4, wherein the one or more post-shaping steps comprise a compression step performed by and/or between one or more pairs of hot rollers. 5. The process of Claim 4, wherein the one or more post-build steps comprises cooling the 3D printed part. 5. The process of claim 4, wherein the one or more post-sculpting steps comprise quenching the 3D printed part. 5. The process of claim 4, wherein the one or more post-build steps comprise heating the 3D printed part. 5. The process of claim 4, wherein the one or more post-build steps comprise peening the 3D printed part. 5. The process of claim 4, wherein the one or more post-fabrication steps comprise laser machining the 3D printed part. 2. The process of claim 1, further comprising one or more additional processing steps. 14. The process of Claim 13, wherein the one or more additional processing steps comprises peening. 14. The process of Claim 13, wherein said one or more additional processing steps comprises laser machining. 14. The process of Claim 13, wherein said one or more additional processing steps comprises cooling. 14. The process of Claim 13, wherein said one or more additional processing steps comprises quenching. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein the hybrid manufacturing process is capable of creating internal features in the finished part. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein the hybrid manufacturing process is capable of creating surface features on finished parts. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein the hybrid manufacturing process is capable of creating heating or cooling channels in the finished part. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein the hybrid manufacturing process is capable of depositing more than one filler material during an additive manufacturing step. 3. The process of Claim 1, wherein the hybrid manufacturing process is capable of removing material from a 3D printed part through one or more removal steps. 23. The process of Claim 22, wherein said one or more removing steps comprises perforating on and/or within said 3D printed part. 23. The process of Claim 22, wherein the one or more removing steps comprise cutting on and/or within the 3D printed part. 23. The process of Claim 22, wherein the one or more removing steps comprises surface finishing the 3D printed part. 23. The process of Claim 22, wherein said one or more removing steps comprises machining said 3D printed part. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein the hybrid manufacturing system includes at least two tools each capable of performing different additive or subtractive manufacturing steps. 2. The process of claim 1, wherein the hybrid manufacturing system consists of only one tool capable of performing both additive and subtractive manufacturing steps. 3. The process of claim 1, further comprising incorporating one or more pre-shaped components into the 3D printed part. 30. The process of Claim 29, wherein the one or more pre-shaped components comprise one or more pipes.
