Method and device for fabrication of 3d multi - material (composite) parts by selective laser melting combined with laser welding and cutting

The method of manufacturing objects made of a first primary material such as ceramic, metallic or polymer materials on at least one workstation by selective laser melting (SLM) comprises the addition of at least a secondary material different from the primary material to form the object, the secondary material being selectively welded to the previously solidified SLM layer and the excess material is removed.
