Additive-subtractive manufacturing of parts produced by WAAM KU Leuven
Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is an additive manufacturing technique that uses an electric arc as a heat source to melt the metal wire and deposit a component layer-by-layer. WAAM allows to produce medium to large metal parts with moderate geometrical complexity in a material- and cost-efficient way. However, the WAAM parts are characterised by low surface quality and dimensional accuracy leading to the necessity of further ...
