🧐 Curious about the influence of infill strategy on WAAM-built steel components?

Our new publication investigates how deposition planning decisions translate into real manufacturing outcomes when producing thick-walled structures with WAAM.

Across 11 deposition strategies, we demonstrate how infill design impacts:

✔ Thermal stability during deposition
✔ Defect formation and fusion quality
✔ Surface consistency and dimensional control
✔ Microstructure evolution and hardness

The study highlights a central message: optimised infill strategies are essential for balancing productivity and structural integrity in large-scale metal AM.

These findings provide actionable insights for engineers and researchers working toward reliable industrial adoption of WAAM.
