Systems and methods for additive manufacturing for air data probes are provided. In at least one embodiment a probe comprises a support structure comprising one or more ports for receiving one or more fluids, the support structure comprising an endoskeleton mandrel having an opening for receiving a fluid; and a heating cable encircling an external surface of the endoskeleton mandrel. The probe also comprises an additive coating fused to the external surface of the endoskeleton mandrel and an extemal surface of the heating cable; and an internal assembly inside the support structure for carrying pressures from the one or more ports to one or more instruments that respond to the one or more fluids to provide a measurement. 提供用于空气数据探针的增材制造的系统和方法。在至少个实施例中，探针包括：支撑结构，其包括用于接纳个或多个流体的个或多个端口，所述支撑结构包括具有用于接纳流体的开口的内骨骼芯轴；以及包围内骨骼芯轴的外表面加热电缆。探针还包括：添加涂层，其熔合到内骨骼芯轴的外表面和加热电缆的外表面；以及支撑结构内侧的内部组件，其用于将来自个或多个端口的压力运送到响应于个或多个流体的个或多个仪器，以提供测量。
