New Lincoln Electric White Paper Shows How Advances in Wire-Based Additive Manufacturing Solve Common Industrial Manufacturing Challenges

Learn How to Turn Supply Chain Disruptions Into a Competitive Advantage

CLEVELAND, April 17, 2020 — (PRNewswire) —  A new white paper by Lincoln Electric examines how recent breakthroughs in the field of wire arc additive manufacturing are providing aerospace, automotive, heavy industry, oil & gas and other industrial equipment manufacturers with new ways to overcome common production challenges.

All industrial equipment manufacturers face challenges that can negatively impact production pipelines leading to production delays, downtime and increased costs. These challenges include:

The white paper, Addressing Production Challenges and Go-to-Market Limitations with Established Additive Manufacturing Service Providers, examines 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:

Manufacturers often have to compromise on speed, size, and even quality. Wire-based metal additive technology eliminates those trade-offs and delivers advantages over traditional manufacturing processes.

"Manufacturers are under constant pressure to deliver faster, whether prototype, production or replacement parts, and recent events highlight the fragility of supply chains. Due to our advancements in additive technology, they now have an option for securing large metal parts from a trusted source in Lincoln Electric, reducing supply chain risk and lead times," said D. Mark Douglass, Business Development Manager for Lincoln Electric Additive Solutions.
