    Abstract: An ion fusion formation (IFF) system and method is used to fabricate a large scale three-dimensional structure in a continuous manner from successive layers of feedstock material. The system includes a moveable positioning arm coupled to a control platform. The positioning arm includes a deposition head, including a high energy beam and a feedstock feed mechanism mounted thereto. The deposition head is positioned relative to a targeted region by positioning and repositioning the moveable positioning arm, thereby providing a means for fabricating a large scale three-dimensional structure in a continuous manner. A plurality of control components coupled to the control platform are programmable to control the positioning arm whereby a plurality of customizable control parameters are input into the control components and provide positioning and repositioning of the positioning arm to align the deposition head relative to the predetermined targeted region.
