We propose a novel hybrid model, the Level Set Grid, to facilitate parallel additive and
subtractive processes in hybrid manufacturing. The Level Set Grid combines the strengths of
explicit and implicit representations, offering precise modeling of evolving geometries and fast
and efficient collision detection. This research focuses on integrating Level Set Grids into the
additive slicing and subtractive pathing generation processes, laying the groundwork for future
advancements in the parallelization of hybrid manufacturing.Mechanical Engineerin
