WORCESTER, MA, Nov 14, 2025 – Hybrid CNC Parts expanded its manufacturing capacity by purchasing two Phillips additive hybrid laser-wire systems powered by Haas and Meltio. The investment triples the company’s hybrid capability for customers seeking metal additive and subtractive machining.
The new machines expand Hybrid CNC Parts’ ability to support aerospace, defense, and R&D – sectors that require rapid prototyping, repair, and small-batch production of metal parts. They also improve the production of metal components using materials such as nickel and cobalt superalloys, like Inconel and Stellite, and tool steels.
“We first adopted the Phillips Additive Hybrid system after discovering Meltio’s laser-wire technology through Phillips,” said Jesse Silverberg, Ph.D., founder of Hybrid CNC Parts. “Seeing the system in person confirmed it could do exactly what we needed – deliver strong, machinable metal parts without the powder-handling challenges or constraints typical of traditional metal AM. Two and a half years later, we’ve proven the process, refined our metallurgical understanding, and are now scaling up to meet growing customer demand.”
Hybrid CNC Parts operates both as a Hybrid job shop and engineering firm that links digital design with production. Its engineers optimize parts for hybrid manufacturing by balancing additive and subtractive processes to improve performance and manage costs.
“Designing for Hybrid requires a different mindset,” Silverberg added. “It’s not just about printing entire parts. It’s about knowing where to add material and where to machine – combining the strengths of both to achieve the best results. That’s where our experience really differentiates us.”
With the two new Phillips Additive Hybrids, Hybrid CNC Parts operates three laser-wire hybrid systems. The Hybrids use Meltio’s IR additive laser technology integrated on two Haas VF-5s and a UMC-750. The fleet increases capacity, adds redundancy, reduces downtime, and supports both production and development work.
Phillips Corporation has supported Hybrid CNC Parts from its first installation through this expansion, providing integration expertise and technical support.
“Hybrid CNC Parts is an excellent example of an early adopter who didn’t just implement the technology – they mastered it,” said Dan Insogna, regional account manager for additive manufacturing at Phillips Corporation. “Their ability to design for Hybrid and deliver high-value, small-run production demonstrates exactly what this technology was built for: agility, efficiency, and innovation.”
Hybrid CNC Parts is inviting companies to explore pilot projects and prototyping collaborations. Its design, process, and materials expertise helps organizations assess and adopt hybrid manufacturing in their operations.
“Now that we’ve scaled our capacity and validated the process, we’re opening our doors to customers who want to see what Hybrid can do for them,” Silverberg said. “We’re ready to help others unlock the same advantages that have transformed our business.”
