Why WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) technology?

Efficient production of complex components

From precise prototypes to series production, we offer you first-class solutions.

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology enables us to produce high-quality components by melting metal powder with an electric arc. The metal powder is applied in layers and fused with the arc to form precise and complex components. This innovative technology offers you an efficient and cost-effective solution for manufacturing components from high-temperature-resistant and crack-prone materials. With WAAM, you can achieve outstanding quality and accuracy in a short space of time.
