Welcome to our first eBook dedicated exclusively to large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM). This particular topic is unique in that its focus is not on a specific type of technology or adopter area. Rather, LFAM encompasses various polymer, composite, and metal AM solutions that share one thing: the ability to print big—sometimes really, really big.
In the following pages, the VoxelMatters team is excited to present an array of content that highlights the broad scope of the LFAM subsegment. Our opening analysis chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the various technologies and processes that fall under the LFAM umbrella, including hybrid platforms, FGF, WAAM, and more. Next, we turn our focus to AML3D, which specializes in WAM-based large-scale metal AM. In this feature, we dive into the company’s expanding partnerships in the submarine and maritime sectors all over the globe. We then highlight a series of recent—and altogether quite fun—use cases for LFAM technologies, including a gigantic robot prop, music festival furniture, and a self-driving boat. Last but certainly not least, we present our LFAM mapping chapter which covers the leading hardware companies in the polymer LFAM space.
VoxelMatters’ LFAM eBook can be viewed by scrolling through the document above or downloaded for viewing on your favorite mobile device. In our effort to maintain an open discourse and open access to AM news, the publication is free to access. We at VoxelMatters have been ardently following the progress of Large-format AM for years, and we are pleased to put the industry in the spotlight in a new, reader-friendly way!
