WAAM 3D printing offers several advantages over casting, forging, or subtractive machining. It enables faster lead times by eliminating tooling, reduces material waste through near net shape deposition, and allows production of very large metal parts that would be impractical with traditional methods. WAAM also simplifies complex supply chains by enabling on demand manufacturing close to the point of use.

Our WAAM service supports a wide range of industrial metals including stainless steels, aluminum, titanium alloys, Inconel, and tool steels. This flexibility makes WAAM suitable for aerospace, defense, marine, and energy applications where certified-grade metals are required.

WAAM is uniquely capable of producing very large components thanks to its scalable robotic platform. Parts can range from small prototypes to multi-meter structures, with deposition rates up to several kilograms of metal per hour. This makes WAAM ideal for large format applications such as structural aerospace components, shipbuilding, and heavy industry.

WAAM parts are deposited to near-net shape with typical dimensional accuracy of a few millimeters, depending on the geometry and material. For final tolerances, parts are usually finished using CNC machining or grinding. This hybrid workflow delivers both the speed and scale of WAAM with the precision of traditional machining.

WAAM is already being adopted across aerospace, defense, marine, energy, and heavy equipment industries. It is particularly valuable for producing large structural parts, replacement components, and prototypes where speed, size, and material performance are critical.

The key question everyone wants a simple answer to and no one wants to hear “it depends”. We price our WAAM service based on part complexity, the material being printed, the runtime on the machine, and the number of parts being requested. All of the work to produce a part goes into slicing and producing the first part. Printing duplicates is much easer. Therefore the first one costs more and subsequent prints are less. If you buy one of our systems we will provide all of the gold standard print programs to you so you can have immediate return on investment and success with your own machine. WAAM is especially cost-effective for large parts and low-volume production runs. For accurate pricing, we provide project-specific quotes.

Requesting a quote is simple. Send us your CAD model or part drawings through our online quote form, and our engineering team will provide a custom estimate based on your material, size, and application requirements. If you need an NDA in place fist that is no problem. Simply send that to us first. Our on-demand WAAM service is designed to get you production-ready parts quickly.
