Transforming the Construction Industry Through Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing
This chapter presents six research projects conducted in collaboration with academic and industrial partners at TU Darmstadt, investigating the use of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). The case studies demonstrate the versatility of WAAM applications, including function integration, mass customization, onsite fabrication, and post-processing. The studies cover: (i) Hybrid reinforcement of thin sheet metal for function integration and mass customization. (ii) WAAM-manufactured lattice structures for structural design. (iii) Individualized connectors for glass facades showcasing mass customization challenges. (iv) Onsite fabrication of a steel printed bridge, identifying welding challenges. (v/vi) Post-processing techniques using milling to create complex shapes and textures, along with Rudimentary Digital twins for process control. The chapter highlights WAAM’s potential to transform AEC and identifies key challenges, offering valuable insights and suggesting future research directions.
