Utilising this process for additive manufacturing allows spare parts, components, and prototypes to be manufactured in a way that is both resource-efficient and flexible. Additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly popular in a variety of industries, including ship and train building, oil and gas, aerospace engineering, and the manufacture of construction equipment and tools. The requirements for moulds and materials are low compared to conventional production processes, such as milling, machining, and casting. This process provides flexibility when designing and adapting different components and saves time and material.
Optimising the Additive Manufacturing Process with iWave Multiprocess PRO
The new iWave Multiprocess PRO is combined with the Fronius CMT Additive Pro characteristic, which is optimised for metal 3D printing. This solution is compatible with common robot systems for additive manufacturing.
Exclusive 3D Features in a Single Welding Characteristic for Additive Manufacturing
With CMT (Cold Metal Transfer), we have been offering a highly stable, easily controllable, and comparatively cool welding process for decades. We have now developed the CMT Additive Pro characteristic specifically for additive manufacturing. Despite its many new possibilities, 3D printing also presents some challenges. Our new features, such as the deposition rate stabilizer or the power correction, are ideal for mastering precise reproducibility and an even layer structure.
Metal 3D Printing Perfected for Flexibility and Efficiency
CMT Additive Pro from Fronius is a revolutionary, 3D-optimised welding process with impressive features, including an especially even layer structure, as well as high quality and stability. Using this process for additive manufacturing, components, spare parts, and even prototypes can be manufactured in a way that’s flexible, resource-efficient, and profitable. Additive manufacturing is on the rise in many industries, including automotive, oil and gas, aerospace engineering, ship and train building, and the manufacture of construction equipment and tools. Compared to conventional production processes, such as casting, machining, or milling, here the requirements in terms of molds and materials are low. This process saves a lot of time and material and provides enormous flexibility when designing and adapting different components.
Reliable, High-End Complete Solution
The new iWave Multiprocess PRO combined with the Fronius CMT Additive Pro characteristic, which is optimised for metal 3D printing, forms the perfect partnership. This complete solution is compatible with common robot systems for additive manufacturing and opens up a whole host of possibilities.
Increasing Competitiveness and Flexibility
Additive manufacturing has enormous potential, especially where the degree of individualization is high. Metal components with highly complex geometries can now be printed with ease. This speeds up prototype construction, simplifies repair work, and enables on-demand printing of spare parts and components.
Mastering Quality and Efficiency with Weld Sequencing in Additive Manufacturing
Error-free and efficient welding - our Fronius WeldCube Navigator makes it a breeze! Paired with WeldCube Navigator, both the TPS/i and iWave become perfectly coordinated weld sequencing systems. In combination with our Dual Wire Feeder, welding specialists can also access two different wire spools in no time. Those looking to experience the ease of use and quality of the results for themselves can use the trial version to test our new Navigator software obligation-free.
Improving Quality and Preventing Errors
Faulty welded joints in the manufacturing process can result in massive costs. In this context, weld sequencing for additive manufacturing is an effective solution for quality assurance and a proven means of countering the shortage of skilled workers.
Digital Welding Sequence for Additive Manufacturing
The WeldCube Navigator software shows the welder what to do next at the workstation. An extra screen displays each work step for a component in the correct sequence, and the welding parameters of the respective job are applied automatically. The worker is guided through their jobs step by step.
Ensuring Quality and Controlling Errors in Additive Manufacturing
If the worker deviates from the weld sequencing, the system will immediately flag it up. And if it detects a deviation (limit violation) in seams that have been defined as safety-relevant, welding cannot be continued until released by a welding supervisor, for example. This means that errors are not repeated or duplicated but corrected immediately.
Test WeldCube Navigator for Free to Explore Additive Manufacturing Benefits
The best way to experience the advantages is by using it. With the option to try the software free of charge in combination with the trial license for our welding systems, there’s nothing stopping you from testing the system in conjunction with the TPS/i, the iWave, or the Dual Wire Feeder in your own company.
iWave and TPS/i users can download the WeldCube Navigator software here or via their myFronius portal.
