Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technology is growing in interest in the last years. The technology enables the manufacturing of real geometries by overlapping weld beads and is well suited for metallic parts with high buy-to-fly ratio. Manufacturing costs and time are critical issues whi...
