Abstract

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes enable the production of complex, near-net-shape structures designed for low weight. When combined with light materials, such as magnesium, component weight can be further optimised. While powder-based AM processes have several limitations, wire-based processes circumvent many of these drawbacks. In this paper, we review the advantages and disadvantages of different AM processes used for magnesium and present the results of simple test geometries fabricated using waDED (wire-based direct energy deposition). We also assess how high-performance parts can be produced within a short lead time and without the need for tooling.
