Claim 0:
1. An additive manufacturing system, comprising:
a build volume;
a material deposition head arranged within the build volume;
a subtractive machining head arranged within the build volume;
a build plate arranged within the build volume underneath the subtractive machining head, wherein the build plate comprises an interfacial material selected to retain a build material during build material manipulation, the interfacial material arranged on a surface of the build plate proximal the subtractive machining head; and
a control system electrically connected to the material deposition head and the subtractive machining head; and
a heating chamber configured to:
receive a part precursor, wherein the part precursor is coupled to the build plate by the interfacial material; and
sinter the part precursor to form a physical object;, wherein the material deposition head is configured to deposit the build material and a support material on the build plate wherein the build material comprises a paste; and wherein the subtractive machining head is configured to machine the build material; and wherein the interfacial material degrades during sintering, releasing the part precursor from the build plate.
