A Strength Prediction of Wire and Arc Additive Manufactured joints

Anticipating the benefits and potential of using Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) in the construction field for structural connections to enhance automation, energy efficiency, and material utilization rate, the process to provide a reliable and efficient prediction for the strength of WAAM components is the focus of this thesis....

Steel 3D printing for structures: An explorative study on the tear-out strength of a pin or bolt in a Wire and Arc Additively Manufactured carbon steel plate

Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is emerging as a technology for different applications made of steel. It is expected that in the coming years the construction industry will benefit from the free and lightweight forms that can be fabricated and the possible material savings. A few experimental results of 3D printed stainless steel...

Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing of Thin Structures Using Metal-Cored Wire Consumables: Microstructure, mechanical properties, and experiment-based thermal model

In recent years, Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), is gaining attractions both from academia and industry, because it has the potential to substitute or complement the traditional manufacturing methods. Traditional materials and methods are reaching their limitation when demanding and special applications are considered.<br/><br/>The...

Exploration of Stability of 3D-Printed Steel Members: A study to buckling behaviour of wire and arc additively manufactured stainless steel tubular columns

Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), a relatively new metal 3D-printing technology, allows for fabrication of shapes that were not possible to produce a few years ago. Using 6-axis industrial robots with a gas metal arc welding (GMAW)-head, Dutch start-up MX3D prints metal in every direction mid-air. By welding small parts of material at...
