| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing opens new ways of producing metal parts. However, not every AM metal technology is equally suitable for objects larger than 2ft in the long axis. Furthermore, the need to scale the technologies for parts 10-fold larger creates a new set of challenges. On the other hand, the lack of legacy methods and necessity for backward compatibility allows for new unrestricted designs and solutions. This talk will present the current capabilities and future directions using wire-arc technology as an example. |
