The　contradiction　between　manufacturing　accuracy　and　manufacturing　efficiency　is　discussed　in　this　paper.　In　order　to　solve　this　problem,　a　novel　droplet-targeting　laser　hybrid　indirect　arc　for　additive　manufacturing　technology　is　proposed　in　which　a　couple　of　wires　are　melted　using　the　alternating　current　with　interwire　indirect　arc　to　achieve　high　deposition　rate.　On　the　other　hand,　droplets　actively　target　the　laser　beam　and　detach　from　wire　tip　under　the　recoil　pressure　subjected　to　pulsed　laser　irradiating　at　desired　position　and　with　controlled　mass　for　a　precise　bead　forming.　The　process　of　alternative　droplet　growing　at　desired　position　are　mathematically　analyzed　and　then　preliminary　verified　by　experiment.　By　precisely　controlling　the　wire　feed　speed　and　current　frequency,　the　melting　process　at　desired　position　and　mass　of　wire　is　successfully　obtained　which　is　the　fundamental　for　next-step　for　the　droplet　actively　targeting　laser.　Copyright:　©　2020　Editorial　Board　of　CHINA　WELDING.
