DEEP Manufacturing and Fortius Metals have begun a collaboration to build a multi-material metal cylinder using DEEP Manufacturing’s synchronised multi-robot wire arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) system, a form of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology.

The goal is to demonstrate that multi-material metal deposition – combining advanced alloys within a single, continuous build – can be executed with the precision, repeatability and process control that true production environments demand.
