Automatic Tool Change Devices (ATC) are essential components in various industries, particularly in manufacturing processes with high-tech manufacturing, the present research aims to facilitate the automatic change of tools on machines that allow two or more manufacturing processes known as hybrid machines. Storage devices and automatic tool change in numerical control machines and 3D printers were analyzed, likewise, to solve the need raised Computer Aided Design and Engineering (CAD, CAE) is used. CNC machining, 3D printing, laser engraving, cutting plotter, and drawing plotter processes were evaluated. As a result, the proposal of a self-locking module that allows the loading and unloading of tools that are used in the previously mentioned processes was obtained. The originality of the module makes it possible to dispense with at least one actuator for clamping and releasing tools, although now it is in the testing stage for lightweight tools. The conclusions derived from the study is to have obtained a solution to the problem of automatic tool change in hybrid process machines.
