Wire for additive manufacturing

Our expertise ranges from the production of high-quality steel to the provision of welding filler wire that can be used flexibly. We supply top quality in the form of drawn wire, specially designed for the production of sophisticated aerospace components using WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) technology.

Process monitoring

From liquid metal to filler wire - with our Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), Wire Laser Additive Manufacturing (WLAM) and Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) processing methods, we have complete process control.

Productivity

The promising WAAM technology has a higher productivity than other processes (SLM, EBM) with up to 5kg per hour. There are synergies between welding sources and multi-axis robots to increase the uptime of machines in workshops.

Product portfolio

UGIWAM offers a wide range of products, including austenitic, ferritic and martensitic wire as well as duplex wire and nickel-based wire. We have the solution for your product requirements.

Drawn wire for additive manufacturing

With the new UGIWAM® product range, we guarantee complete control over the process. From steel production to filler wire that can be remelted if necessary, we supply the highest quality drawn wire for demanding aerospace components, all of which are intended for WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) technology.

Thanks to our two drawn wire production sites in Bourg-en-Bresse (France) and San Vendemiano (Italy), the Swiss Steel Group has the resources and technical expertise of a major leading group in stainless steels and nickel alloys for the welding market. The research and development centre is a major player in the field of innovation. Contact us and together we will find a solution that meets your requirements.

Our Green Steel is based on the circular economy, on energy sources with low CO2 content and is produced using the electric steel process.

~83 % Lower CO2 footprint
~80 % Decarbonised electricity in our plants
~94 % Recycled scrap as raw material

High-quality services for your needs

The welding operations carried out in the WAAM process are particularly long and often take place in complex positions. Based on our experience with armouring wires, we believe that the wire must be perfectly cleaned and lubricated in a very homogeneous way, depending on the welding process used for the application of the wire.

Swiss Steel has implemented the UGINET and UGIGLISS systems in its drawing lines, which allow us to control the cleaning of the wire and the lubrication for additive manufacturing.

Product portfolio for every application

We share our enthusiasm for convincing and successful products with our customers and partners.
