NAME CIRCLE: Large Scale Additive Manufacturing & Repair cell
Unique multi-robot cell for metal additive manufacturing and repair of large, high value-added components (shafts up to 3 metres long and moulds/dies up to 2.5 m2 of surface area), which combines the high deposition rate of directed energy deposition with electric arc and metal wires (DED-ARC / WAAM) and the precision, low distortion and low heat input of coaxial deposition with laser and metal wires (DED-LB / LMD-wire).
