Lincoln Electric releases white paper

Lincoln Electric has released a new white paper which examines how wire-based additive manufacturing solves common industrial manufacturing challenges.

In the paper, Lincoln Electric identifies the challenges that can negatively impact production pipelines leading to production delays, downtime and increased costs. Some challenges identified include:

  • Malfunctioning of failing parts that are challenging to replace or difficult to repair.
  • Long lead times for castings and forgings of new parts, tooling or prototypes.
  • High cost of materials and shipping for heavy equipment and parts.
  • Product testing and industry regulations that cause delays and/or require redesigns or re-manufacturing of parts.

Titled, Addressing production challenges and go-to-market limitations with established additives manufacturing service providers, the paper also highlights how wire arc additive manufacturing can help large-format metal part manufacturers eliminate production bottlenecks, shorten delivery times and reduce prototype design and test cycles.

The process is ideal for parts larger than a basketball and can be readily scaled to several meters. Specific advantages include:
