A system includes a controller, a pretreating machine, and an additive manufacturing machine. The pretreating machine is coupled to the controller. The pretreating machine includes a pretreater structured to form an interface layer on a component. The additive manufacturing machine is coupled to the controller. The additive manufacturing machine includes a material feed and a forming beam. The material feed is configured to selectively provide a first amount of material on the interface layer. The forming beam is configured to substantially melt the first amount of material, thereby forming afirst layer of a first material deposit on the interface layer. 一种系统包括控制器、预处理机器和增材制造机器。预处理机器耦合到控制器。预处理机器包括预处理器，该预处理器配置成在部件上形成界面层。增材制造机器耦合到控制器。增材制造机器包括材料进给和成形梁。材料进给配置成在界面层上选择性地提供第一量的材料。成形梁构造成基本上熔化第一数的材料，从而在界面层上形成第一材料沉积的第一层。
