Key WAAM process features
• Build rates 0.5 - 4 kg/hour – typical 1kg/hr titanium
• Unlimited build volume
• Fully dense materials with excellent mechanical properties
• Minimum feature size 2 mm
• No commercial systems available – yet
Machined part

Future Developments
• Commercial WAAM systems - both CNC and robotic
• Control and toolpath planning software to drive them
• Very large scale systems
• Parallel process systems (multi deposition, on-line NDT/metrology)

Summary
• WAAM is an excellent process for large scale additive manufacture of awide range of materials
• Mechanical properties are excellent
• With cold work mechanical properties cam exceed those of forgedmaterials
