Manufacturing system (100) comprises only a few essential components, including: the workpiece(s) (110); the fixtures, or workpiece holding means, (120); the centrifuge (130), including a base (140) and axle (150); the release system (160), preferably a laser source; the containment structure (170); the accretion system, including an accretion substrate (180); and the control system. In operation, the release system directs a focused beam (190) of energy or solid particles to the surface of the workpiece to weaken the bonds of the surface material, and in cooperation with the centrifugal force, induced by the radial motion of the centrifuge, to break the surface material bonds and eject material into a particle path (200) which is directed to the accretion substrate. Thus, in its most essential inventive aspect, the operational and structural scheme of the system entails that the fixtures attach the workpiece to the centrifuge; the release system adds the energy to release material from the workpiece; the containment structure provides a controlled environment and prevents materials and gases from entering into the process area as contaminants or leaving the containment structure as hazards; the accretion controls the accretion process and the accretion substrate; and the control system integrates the actions of the various components of the machine. |
