Additive Manufacturing: Innovation and Precision with WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) Technology
Our Technology
At ETEO, we are excited to use Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology, which is part of the Direct Energy Deposition (DED) category of 3D printing technologies. This revolutionary technology allows us to work on large parts, optimizing the process and reducing deposition time. The result? Components with high strength and flexibility that conventional methods cannot match.
Our machines
To meet various needs, we have developed the E-300 and E-500 models. These machines offer extraordinary flexibility, allowing for 3 or 5-axis configurations. Our machines ,upon request, can be equipped with a thermal imaging camera for temperature feedback control, ensuring constant and precise monitoring throughout the production process.
Advanced Software
Technology alone is not enough: therefore, we use CAD software for modeling and design, and CAM software to develop efficient printing strategies. With temperature feedback control, we can keep adduction parameters under control, thus ensuring superior quality of the final product.
Prototyping and Customer Collaboration
At ETEO, we believe in active collaboration with our customers. From the earliest stages of the project, we share with them the design, deposition strategy and quality verification of the manufactured product. This approach allows us to ensure that the end result fully meets their expectations.
Materials Used
We offer a wide range of materials for additive manufacturing, including structural steel, stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, and high-strength aluminum. These materials are selected for their excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for multiple industrial applications.
