WAAM can offer manufacturers significant carbon emission and carbon footprint reductions. The WAAM component demonstrated a 40% reduction in environmental impact compared to the demonstration part made using traditional, subtractive fabrication approaches.

With rapid deposition, material versatility, & large-scale production capacity, DED processes are versatile and powerful additive manufacturing technologies. DED processes can be used for rapid prototyping and tooling, repair and cladding & customisation projects.

As additive manufacturing technologies continue to evolve, finding the right Directed Energy Deposition (DED) process for your needs becomes increasingly important. In this blog, we will examine DED processes and its applications across various industries.

Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is a manufacturing process that is opening exciting opportunities for metal component creation and repair. In this blog, we have created an overview of what DED is & where wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) fits into the picture.

High surface quality and dimensional accuracy are key in the WAAM process, particularly as the part is built up using a layer-by-layer process. In this blog, we will explore how quality can be monitored accurately to ensure a more controlled deposition process.

A wide range of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) 3D printing techniques available to manufacturers looking to produce or repair components. One process in particular - Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, has now stands head and shoulders above the rest. Find out why?

Oil and gas providers are having to manage the increasing demands being placed on the industry for affordable, secure and clean energy solutions. WAAM can help to bring a new level of control to the replacement and repair of medium-to-large-scale components.

WAAM can offer manufacturers significant carbon emission and carbon footprint reductions. The WAAM component demonstrated a 40% reduction in environmental impact compared to the demonstration part made using traditional, subtractive fabrication approaches.

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, or WAAM is becoming increasingly popular as a way of creating medium- to large-sized metal 3D printed components. In this blog, we will find out how the mechanical integrity of such new printed parts can be ensured.

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing(WAAM) is a large-scale 3D printing technology. We answer some of our most frequently asked questions in this blog: What are the advantages of WAAM? Where can the WAAM process be used? And all basic information related to WAAM.

Because of the material savings achieved using WAAM, a manufacturer’s environmental performance can be improved when it comes to component creation and repair. WAAM can deliver significant energy and CO2 emission savings. Find out how.

In the past the qualification and production aspects of WAAM process were more difficult to monitor. Now, thanks to the introduction of WAAMCtrl®, a digital quality control tool with the support of robust Statistical Process Control (SPC) is now possible.

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM®) or directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing is being considered more and more in the creation and repair of medium-to-large- components. Explore here how WAAM process can help you to reduce component part costs.

The lifespan of high value components, such as turbine blades & engine combustion chambers can be severely shortened by cracking and thermal stresses. WAAM is unique in its ability to repair such large parts that scrapping them. Find out the benefits of using WAAM.

For prototype creation and component design adaptations, wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) offers many benefits, including flexibility, risk-reduction and cost benefits, particularly for large-scale parts.

As more and more oil and gas operators look to save money, whilst promoting more environmental credentials, the manufacturing efficiency of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM®) of medium-to-large scale engineering components is increasing in popularity. 

Forging isn’t always the best option when it comes to component production, particularly when talking about large format structures, or the repair of existing forged parts. In this blog, we will look at the benefits of WAAM over forging.

Here is an overview of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) and how it compares with powder-bed fusion technologies. WAAM differs from powder-bed fusion technologies - is that wire feedstock is fed through a nozzle to an arc energy source.
