Additive Manufacturing solutions
This technology utilizes the process of additive manufacturing, which involves constructing a 3D object by adding material in successive layers. As part of the Direct Energy Deposition (DED) process family, WAAM can create shapes that are not achievable through traditional casting or forging and provides short lead times. With its versatility, the technology can cater to a wide range of applications and needs. The company’s material expertise, quality standards, and industrial framework form the foundation of this innovative offering, enabling the delivery of finished and certified parts.
For large metallic components, WAAM is the most promising and fastest 3D printing technology. With it we can design, print and fully qualify metal parts to the highest standards of quality. It offers you greater efficiency and shorter lead times, allowing you to revolutionize how you manage your assets.
How does the 3D printing work?
WAAM uses an electric arc controlled by a robotic arm to melt metal wire directly onto the surface of the base, layer by layer.
How does it impact supply chain?
WAAM does more than create a physical product, it offers the ability to create a digital warehouse so you can cut down physical storage costs and improve your supply chain efficiency by obtaining parts on demand.
How flexible is the process?
WAAM offers the opportunity to shape the part you need in a variety of materials. It provides total freedom to create new designs and new functionalities.
