Examples

Here are a few examples of the sample parts that we have produced with the WAAM process.

Window Frame

This example is a stainless steel part that was originally produced from a billet of material. These walls were built up using a continuous weld, leaving minimal cleanup stock. Part resulted in high quality material with significant material and machining time reduction.

The video below shows the wall being built.

Nozzle

This example nozzle is printed in Titanium 6-4 and could just as easily be printed in Inconel. The part was produced with a single bead and transitions from a rectangular to round cross section with a constant cross sectional area.

Aerofoil

Parts such as this titanium aerofoil can be easily produced with very minimal (<0.04") clean up stock.

Complex Shapes

Complex geometry such as the part shown here can be printed with a continuous bead leaving very minimal cleanup stock and maximizing deposition rate. The substrate deformed less than 0.020" on the part shown.

Titanium Walls

We have produced very straight Titanium walls up to 12 inches tall (and could print taller). These samples were tested and passed all AWS standard weld tests.

Intersections

We can print intersecting walls with excellent integrity and minimal cleanup stock.
