About

The WAAMathon is the only event exclusively focused on WAAM, bringing together experts, thought leaders, and decision-makers from the field of additive manufacturing. This event highlights Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), a type of directed energy deposition (DED) technology that uses an electric arc to melt metal wire, which is then deposited layer by layer to build up large metal parts for industrial applications.

The goal of the WAAMathon is to elevate this niche technology, making it more widely known and accessible, while fostering a community where participants can exchange ideas, share experiences and collaborate on future developments.
