Cold Wire + Gas Metal Arc Process

300 kg and 0.8 diameter steel landing ring deposition using CW+GMA

We have developed a novel Wire-Arc Direct Energy Deposition (w-DED-Arc) or Wire arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) process known as Cold Wire Gas Metal Arc (CWGMA) to overcome challenges with thermal energy and geometry control that is inherent with the standard GMA WAAM process and to also drastically improve the productivity.
