Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an advanced technology that has been primarily driven by the demand for production efficiency, minimized energy consumption, and reduced carbon footprints. This process involves layer-by-layer material deposition based on a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model. Compared to traditional manufacturing methods, AM has enabled the development of complex and topologically functional geometries for various service parts in record time. However, there are limitations to mass production, the building rate, the build size, and the surface quality when using metal additive manufacturing. To overcome these limitations, the combination of additive manufacturing with traditional techniques such as milling and casting holds the potential to provide novel manufacturing solutions, enabling mass production, improved geometrical features, enhanced accuracy, and damage repair through net-shape construction. This amalgamation is commonly referred to as hybrid manufacturing or multi-material additive manufacturing. This review paper aimed to explore the processes and complexities in hybrid materials, joining techniques, with a focus on maraging steels. The discussion is based on existing literature and focuses on three distinct joining methods: direct joining, gradient path joining, and intermediate section joining. Additionally, current challenges for the development of the ideal heat treatment for hybrid metals are discussed, and future prospects of hybrid additive manufacturing are also covered.
