RoboWAAM®  aDVANCED

WAAM3D HARDWARE
Standalone shopfloor installation

With RoboWAAM® Advanced the only services you need to print are power and gas.

Printing the Future

RoboWAAM® Advanced features the highest payload, largest build volume and the most on-board sensors of all the wire-DED systems out there.

Reconfiguration made easy

RoboWAAM® Advanced can be easily reconfigured to accommodate wide-area parts with tooling of various sizes, or rotational components.

RoboWAAM® Advanced, our wire arc additive manufacturing machine, was first commissioned in 2020. Our MKII machine, powered by the operating system WAAMCtrl, has novel sensors, specialised end-effectors, and advanced health and safety solutions.

RoboWAAM, our wire arc additive manufacturing machine, was first commissioned in 2020. Our MKII machine, powered by the operating system WAAMCtrl, has novel sensors, specialised end-effectors, and advanced health and safety solutions.

We offer full-service metal additive manufacturing for manufacturers of highly critical metal components and structures.

How do we ensure a smooth implementation of the WAAM process within your organisation or your suppliers?

RoboWAAM® Advanced leverages on WAAM3D’s best-in-class integrated hardware-software ecosystem

It works seamlessly with the programmes generated by WAAMPlanner. It is managed by WAAMCtrl, the operating system overseeing the whole of the build process, providing process monitoring and governance over the many health and safety capabilities, as well as fully auditable process trail.

The beauty of RoboWAAM is what’s
happening behind its gorgeous enclosure.

Our 20 years of experience has enabled us to design 80% of the components from scratch to create a truly coherent hardware and software ecosystem.

It’s all the innovation we have
packed into RoboWAAM.

What is the difference between a robotic welding cell and a WAAM system?

Introducing FEATURES

A State-of-the-art WAAM experience

Delivered via the ergonomic control centre, large wire payload, advanced electronics, automatic control of atmosphere, all in combination with our signature end-effectors.

FEATURE 01

Control Centre

Supervise RoboWAAM's operation from its front desk. Control all functions from the comfort of one place.

feature 02

External wire storage

External bulk wire storage accommodating large spools (70kg) or drums (250kg), for longer uptimes and reduced operator intervention. Wires can be replaced from the outside without breaking the inert atmosphere (if global shielding is deployed).

FEATURE 03

Control Electronics

Our proprietary Control System is filled with our PLC and monitoring hardware, governing the machine from behind the scenes, connected to the control centre at the front.

FEATURE 04

Fume Management System

It provides best-in-class Health and Safety, with the containment of deposition fumes and on-board automatic fume filtration. Moreover, it enables global shielding for reactive metals, with automatic establishment and maintenance of inert atmosphere to user-defined O2 levels. The flexible enclosure system is also motorised to minimise purging time and cost.

State-of-the-art WAAM user experience, delivered via the ergonomic control centre, large wire payload, advanced electronics, automatic control of atmosphere, all in combination with our signature end-effectors.

Learn more about our End-Effectors

Much more than a welding torch needs to go at the end of a robot. Our end effectors measure temperatures, provide melt pool imaging, house ShapeTechTM, and with the local-shielding option they also protect reactive materials from oxidation. For PTA options, they also feature automatic positioning of the wire within the plasma arc, to further ensure consistent deposition.
