Making a Case for Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM)

with Tam Nguyen, P.hD, Professor Mechanical Systems Engineering, Conestoga College

ASM Speaker Series In-person Event

Oct. 4th 2023 (6:30pm EST) – Holiday Inn 590 Argus Rd, Oakville, ON L6J 3J3 (near Oakville GO station)

The wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process utilizes an electric arc to melt and deposit a wide range of engineering alloys forming near-net or net shape components. WAAM integrates arc welding, industrial robotics, and offline programming to turn a welding robotic system into a large 3D printer of high-quality metal shapes. From its applications, product design flexibility, material adaptation, and the final quality assessment, a case will be made to showcase the untapped potentials of WAAM process, which should be unlocked in both industry and academia.
