This paper describes a two-step (additive + subtractive) hybrid manufacturing approach for a laser powder bed fusion 316L stainless steel constrained-motion cutting force dynamometer (PBF CMD). The purpose of the research is to produce a near-net shape metallic dynamometer via additive manufacturing (AM) with post-processing by machining and wire-EDM to achieve the desired surface finish and performance. A cutting force comparison is presented with a commercially-available dynamometer.
