Similar to a 3D printer, only with metal - WAAM technology uses the welding arc as an energy source to melt a metal wire. The molten material is applied layer by layer until the component is finished. The company WAAM3D, based in Milton Keynes, UK, specializes in this field. It was founded as a spin-off from Cranfield University, which plays a central role in the research and further development of WAAM technology. WAAM3D's portfolio includes not only the provision of WAAM systems, but also software solutions, training and customer support for companies wishing to integrate this technology into their manufacturing processes.
