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.

Close-up of a metal component produced with Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) at HEGGEMANN — layer-built structure showcasing advanced additive technology for defense applications.

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

Sustainable European Defense Material Network (EDMN)lity
