COMMERCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

PHYSICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Materials
We can 3D print a variety of industrial metals including combinations of materials
Size
Open new possibilities: Large format metal additive
parts
are measured in feet or meters, not mere inches
Complexity
Tackle part geometries and features that are challenging or not possible for traditional casting or machining
Not your typical robotic programming
CAD to Path Planning
With large format wire-based metal additive manufacturing, the part is manipulated while depositing. Advanced software is critical to address complex path planning and coordinated motion between the robot and the positioner.
Accelerate your projects
Reduce Time to Market
Eliminate tooling bottlenecks, shorten delivery times on long lead projects, compress prototype design and test cycles.
Your Complete Finished Part Provider
compared to traditional manufacturing operations.
While fast, customers have had to compromise on size, material waste and porosity limitations.
Wire-based metal additive technology eliminates those trade-offs
and delivers advantages over traditional manufacturing processes

Audio Interview with Lincoln Electric's Mark Douglass
At the AeroDef conference in Long Beach, Calif., Lincoln Electric’s Mark Douglass talks about acquiring Baker Industries, experimenting in additive manufacturing—and planning to specialize in large-format metal AM: parts that are larger than a microwave. AM is a significant “growth leg” in the 124-year-old firm’s just-hatched 2025 plan, he noted. Among the concrete examples in AM his firm can point to already: Oakridge National Labs now has three of Lincoln’s robotic AM systems for producing large metal parts. Lincoln is set to this year open a 3D printing facility in Cleveland.
