Abstract
An ultrasonic additive manufacturing system may include a base structure, a sonotrode configured to rotate about an axis of rotation, and one or more transducers configured to vibrate the sonotrode. The sonotrode may include a welding surface extending along a circumference of the sonotrode, and the welding surface may have a contoured profile. At least one of the sonotrode and the base structure may be configured to translate relative to the other of the sonotrode and the base structure.
