Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is one of the most relevant additive manufacturing technologies that uses an electric arc to melt and deposit material in wire form, layer by layer, to create three-dimensional objects. WAAM technology is considered a metal additive manufacturing (MAM) process that has gained popularity in various industrial sectors, due to its ability to manufacture large metal parts and elements with high speed and low cost compared to other additive manufacturing techniques. One of the main applications of WAAM is in the aerospace industry, where it is used to manufacture larger and high-strength alloy components, such as aircraft structural parts, aircraft turbines, and rocket engine components. Another important application of WAAM is in the manufacture of energy components, including the production of parts for electric power generation and transmission, as well as for renewable energy production.
