What are the new key materials available today?

Additive manufacturing is of course very different from casting and forging in terms of thermal cycles and requires new chemistries that match the process. To accommodate this, we have a series of signature aluminium based alloys with the addition of scandium and other niche elements that work extremely well with the WAAM process. Crucially we have also been improving the wire making process to achieve better wires in terms of their geometrical stability and surface characteristics, together with larger and larger spools and more controlled packaging.
