Published Article === A component, which has a perfect combination of different materials (probably including homogeneous materials and three different types of heterogeneous materials) in its different portions for a specific application, is considered as the component made of a multiphase perfect material. To fabricate such components, a hybrid layered manufacturing process has been developed. In order to accurately spray different materials with their required volume fractions for every pixel during fabrication, it is important to investigate its spraying operation. This paper establishes the behavior model of the spraying device and proves its validity using digital simulations.
