Controlled manufacturing system suitable for controlling a method for manufacturing, repairing or resurfacing a part by deposition of material under concentrated energy, said controlled manufacturing system comprising:means for obtaining a three-dimensional digital model of the part;means for generating a manufacturing file for the part, based on the three-dimensional digital model of said part, to define manufacturing parameters of an additive manufacturing machine, said manufacturing parameters being associated with manufacturing instructions;means for generating a control file for the part to define control parameters of a control effector, said control parameters being associated with control instructions;analysis means for carrying out an analysis of the manufacturing file and the control file in order to determine if the manufacturing parameters and the control parameters can coexist during the simultaneous application of the manufacturing parameters to the additive manufacturing machine and the control parameters to the control effector;a control module comprising at least one communication channel for receiving and sending the manufacturing instructions to a polyarticulated manufacturing system suitable for supporting the additive manufacturing machine, and at least one communication channel for receiving and sending the control instructions to a polyarticulated control system suited to supporting the control effector, to manage simultaneously the additive manufacturing machine and the control effector.
