A type of hybrid material extrusion (MEX) for metal additive manufacturing where a Flowable Metal Paste is deposited by a nozzle to create several layers. A CNC end mill is then used to improve the accuracy of the surfaces. This produces a green part, which is then sintered to create a finished part with improved surface finish and feature accuracy when compared to most other material extrusion processes. It differs from Flowable Metal Paste in that the machining is done as part of the build process.
