Metal 3D printing: The future of additive manufacturing
Posted on 12. September 2024It is clear to see why the number of metal construction companies adopting 3D printing, known as simply WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) in the industry, is on the rise. The growing demand for modern, individualized production facilities is closely followed by the desire for customized single solutions. Time and again, we need non-standard spare parts within the shortest possible time. And in prototype construction, we aim not only to save on tool costs but also to shorten development times.…
