Life cycle assessment of wire + arc additive manufacturing compared to green sand casting and CNC milling in stainless steel

Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a metal 3D printing technique based on robotic welding. This technique yields potential in decreasing material consumption due to its high material efficiency and freedom of shape. Empirical measurements of WAAM, using a deposition rate of 1 kg/h, were p...
