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.

Venue and Accomodation

The WAAMathon #3 will take place at Berlin’s largest conference venue, the Estrel Congress Center.

The venue provides an ideal setting for our high-profile keynotes, dedicated rooms for the interactive workshop, a spacious exhibition area for technologies and solutions, as well as comfortable spaces for networking and informal exchange.

To ensure a convenient and seamless stay, we have secured an exclusive room allotment for WAAMathon participants at the adjacent Estrel Hotel. Rooms are available at special discounted rates.
