Robotic Additive Manufacturing Cell | Formnext 2024

Explore how robots and additive manufacturing combine in a single production cell to create a niobium aerospace nozzle. Stephanie Hendrixson of Additive Manufacturing Media highlights Siemens and VLM Robotics’ demonstration at Formnext 2024. Using a Siemens Sinumerik CNC controller, the cell integrates wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), machining, niobium spraying, and metrology—all without moving the part between processes.
