Summary
Los Alamos National Laboratory, or LANL, needed a scalable, cost-effective method for rapid metal prototyping. This team developed a CNC-based Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, or WAAM, system with a dual Z-axis gantry for improved stability and precision. Powered by Dynomotion controllers, the system allows for future upgrades. Custom G-code and optimized toolpaths ensure efficient metal deposition, providing LANL with a scalable solution for advanced prototyping.
