Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is based on the well-proven principles of welding technology; however, building 3D objects poses new challenges not encountered with traditional welding.
The technology, process control, material properties, and part performance of WAAM-made structures are all areas for development, yet this technology is being commercially deployed to great success across the world.
