A process for additive manufacturing of a part by successive deposition of layers of powder layers is provided. The process steps are performed within a manufacturing machine having a preparation zone for at least one layer and a consolidation zone for the powder, offset from each other. The process includes: (a) preparing at least one layer comprising at least two zones filled with at least two different powders, e.g., of different materials and/or particle sizes, in the preparation zone; (b) moving the at least one layer into the consolidation zone; (c) placing the at least one layer on either a manufacturing support or on an already consolidated portion of the part; and (d) consolidating at least one portion of the at least one layer by sintering, by melting, or by adding a binder.
