Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference 2018

One remaining technical restriction in additive manufacturing to-date is size which is defined by the size of the build space. To overcome this restriction, FIT has introduced the new WAAM technology (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) for big metal parts. The resulting massive raw parts are to be finished by CNC milling. It is also possible to work on a pre-fabricated corpus. The WAAM build rate is significantly higher than that of any comparable powder-based technology; usable material includes all welding wires. Complex parts can be realized by the 5-axis system. In our practical every-day use the technology is continually improved.
