WAAM Technology in Defense
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing for Rapid Deployment
Scenario: In crisis zones or extreme environments, supply chains often collapse. Critical spare parts cannot be delivered on time. WAAM technology enables the local production of mission-essential components directly in theatre.

Objectives of WAAM deployment in Defense:
Mobile, container-based WAAM spare part production for military vehicles and systems
Maximum flexibility and speed through digital processes
Avoidance of obsolescence with “print-on-demand” from standardised material portfolio
Reduced physical stockpiles through digital part libraries
Collaborative Network: EDMN
As part of the EDMN, HEGGEMANN collaborates with SMEs across Europe to drive material innovation and application in defense technologies.
