Abstract: |
The use of wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) in conjunction with topology optimisation enables the production of structural components with significantly higher strength‐to‐weight ratios than conventional structural components. However, owing to the additional production stages involved in WAAM (e.g. arc welding), a common question arises regarding the environmental impacts of using WAAM to produce structural components relative to conventional fabrication techniques ( |
