MILTON KEYNES, UK, Nov 13, 2025 – WAAM3D, a global leader in wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technology, is proud to announce its official membership in the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CCAM). As part of this strategic partnership, WAAM3D is introducing the first RoboWAAM system to be deployed in the United States at CCAM’s advanced manufacturing facility in Disputanta, Virginia.
Unveiling the RoboWAAM: A Leap Forward in Large-Scale Metal Additive Manufacturing
The RoboWAAM platform brings a revolutionary capability to the U.S. additive manufacturing ecosystem. Featuring WAAM3D’s high-productivity GMAX process,the system achieves a deposition rate of more than 15 kg/hour, providing unmatched throughput for large-scale, precision metal parts. With advanced software tooling, real-time monitoring, and closed-loop control, the RoboWAAM is engineered to handle demanding fabrication tasks in aerospace, defense, energy, heavy industry, and research.
Strategic Collaboration for Industrial Innovation
“Joining CCAM represents a major step in our U.S. engagement strategy.” said Chee Weng Lee, CEO of WAAM3D. “We’re excited to collaborate with CCAM and its members to accelerate industrial adoption of WAAM through joint R&D, knowledge sharing, and real-world applications.”
The new membership and system deployment will enable WAAM3D to work closely with leading academic, industrial, and government partners. Collaborative efforts will prioritize:
- Maturation and qualification of WAAM processes
- Development of high-performance parts and repair workflows
- Establishment of qualification pathways for wire arc additive manufacturing
Building the Next Chapter in Advanced Manufacturing
WAAM3D is enthused about the momentum this partnership brings. By integrating the RoboWAAM into CCAM’s innovation ecosystem, WAAM3D and CCAM are positioning themselves at the forefront of large-scale metal additiv emanufacturing. Industry stakeholders are already expressing strong interest in leveraging these enhanced capabilities to develop new solutions with greater scale, efficiency, and geometric complexity.
