Research abstract

Additive Space has harnessed cutting-edge technology with our multi-robot system, combining wire-arc additive manufacturing and near-net milling, all powered by advanced AI. Our solution can 3D-weld and mill large metal parts for Air Force vehicles and infrastructure projects 70% quicker than the rest of the aerospace world, measured in days rather than weeks. This revolutionary approach transforms the way you can fabricate large-scale metal components. We utilize readily available wire feedstock, ensuring both convenience and cost-effectiveness. The result is not only speed but also exceptional quality, with superior microstructures. Plus, there's no need for time-consuming assembly. Additive Space is here to help the Air Force achieve new heights in efficiency and performance.
