Claim 0:
1. A manufacturing system comprising:
a deposition material;
a deposition material feeder;
a nozzle having a nozzle sidewall defining a channel for allowing the deposition material to be dispensed through the channel onto a workpiece;
a heat source operatively coupled to the nozzle for melting the deposition material dispensed through the nozzle to form an additive material layer on a surface of the workpiece;
an ultrasonic wave generator operatively coupled to the nozzle for providing ultrasonic waves into the melted deposition material
wherein the ultrasonic wave generator is positioned so as to provide the ultrasonic waves into the melted deposition material in a direction substantially perpendicular to the movement plane; and
a controller operative to control the deposition material feeder, the heat source and the ultrasonic wave generator to cause a melt pool of the deposition material to form on a surface of the workpiece and to cause cavitation within the melt pool in order to wet and form bonds between the melted deposition material and the workpiece to manufacture the workpiece.
