Problem
Manufacturers of medium to large metal components, particularly in aerospace and energy, face challenges in maintaining material integrity and managing high material waste during production. Traditional manufacturing methods often involve extensive machining from large blocks, leading to significant material loss and increased production time.
Solution
Addilan provides wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) solutions that utilize closed-loop control within an inert gas chamber to build near-net-shape metal parts. This technology enables the creation of large, complex geometries with high material deposition rates while minimizing waste. By employing WAAM, manufacturers can reduce machining requirements, shorten lead times, and improve material utilization. The system's closed-loop control ensures consistent material properties and structural integrity, making it suitable for demanding applications in industries such as aerospace, energy, and naval.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers of medium to large components in the aerospace, energy, and naval sectors, as well as companies seeking to reduce material waste and lead times in metal part production.
