Abstract
An additive manufacturing system, comprises an energy source device for providing a first energy beam and a second energy beam; and a forging device comprising a forging head. The first energy beam and a substrate are configured to move relative to each other to fuse at least a portion of a material added to the surface of the substrate for forming a cladding layer on the substrate. The forging head is configured to forge the cladding layer during formation of the cladding layer. The second energy beam is configured to heat a forging area of the cladding layer.
