Engineers build open-source gantry-mounted WAAM metal 3D printer for just $1,000

Engineers at the US-based California State University and Turkish Eskisehir Osmangazi University have developed a low-cost wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) 3D printer that can be built for just $1,000.  By integrating gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) technology into an FDM-like gantry setup, the researchers have been able to create a machine that doesn’t rely […]
