Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is an advanced additive manufacturing technique that uses an electric arc as a heat source to melt metal wire, which is then deposited layer by layer to create three-dimensional components. This process is similar to traditional welding but is controlled by Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software, enabling the precise construction of complex and large-scale metal parts. WAAM is utilized in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and maritime, due to its ability to produce high-strength, custom metal structures efficiently and cost-effectively.

Key Findings of the Study
Advantages Offered by Additive Manufacturing in Aerospace Industry
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is increasingly popular in the aerospace industry due to its ability to produce complex, high-performance components efficiently and with reduced weight. Using an electric arc to melt metal wire and build up layers, WAAM enables intricate geometries and customized designs that traditional methods can't achieve. This technology allows rapid prototyping with faster turnaround times and cost advantages for low-volume or complex parts by reducing material waste and machining. WAAM supports materials like aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloys, which meet aerospace performance requirements. Continuous improvements in WAAM are enhancing its capabilities, making it a transformative technology for more efficient, lightweight, and sustainable aircraft designs.
