Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a production process used to 3D print or repair metal parts. It belongs to the Direct Energy Deposition (DED) family of Additive Manufacturing processes. WAAM is executed by depositing layers of metal on top of each other, until a desired 3d shape is created. It is a combination of two production processes: Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and additive manufacturing. GMAW is a welding process used for joining metal parts using an electric arc, and additive manufacturing is the industrial term for 3D printing. The production of parts using WAAM is carried out by a welding robot integrated with a power source. A welding torch attached to the robot is used to melt the wire feedstock to build 3D parts.
During the WAAM process, an intense fume occurs in the cell. The fastest extraction of this fume is mandatory. This fume which is very dangerous for human health and environment. You can extract and filter the fastest way from the cell with our systems produced specially by Avevo.
