ASMBL

Basics

• An abbreviaton for the "Additive Subtractive Manufacturing By Layer" process
• A Hybrid of Additive Manufacturing and Subtractive Manufacturing Processes
• As of now it is done on the E3D Toolchanger
• Uses FDM and a CNC Mill / CNC Router (in one machine)
• Main process is a layer is "laid down" by a fdm toolhead, then that is swapped for a cnc toolhead, this "cleans up" the layer
