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.

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.
