Manufacture of structures with inclined walls in WAAM; [Befähigung einer robotischen Wire-Arc-Additive-Manufacturing-Zelle für nonplanares Drucken Fertigung von Strukturen mit Überhängen imWAAM]

In this work, a model was developed to produce thin-walled unalloyed steel structures with overhangs via wire arc additive manufacturing. The aim was to enable more complex geometries for non-planar printing. Preliminary tests and a full-factorial test plan showed that, at a constant material feed rate, printing speed has the most significant influence on the geometry, regardless of the inclined wall angle. The results were then validated by printing a 3D Benchy.
