Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a Wire-Directed Energy Deposition method of Additive Manufacturing. In the broadest sense, a typical WAAM process consists of off-the-shelf welding equipment which is affixed to a motion controller (Fig 4.1) (generally, a robotic arm or gantry) which is used to consistently and accurately deposit weld material. The ability to use relatively lowcost stock material, achieve high rates of material deposition combined with relative geometric freedom, has resulted in WAAM being an attractive manufacturing process for the production of steel structures in construction.
