Quality processes improve production
We are committed to be at the forefront of WAM® research and development with a heavy focus on commercialising parts, components & products for use in all industries.


Design Optimisation
- Improved design flexibility
- Production efficiency
- Decreased costs
Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) enables new standards of lightweight structures with greater degrees of geometric complexity, parts consolidation, and design optimisation that were not previously possible.
Near Net Shape
Free Form Fabrication
WAMSoft®
AML has developed WAMSoft® state of the art sophisticated proprietary software. The combined robotic hardware and software is capable of manufacturing parts with outstanding accuracy.
3D Metal Parts Manufacturer
Additive Metal Layering Technologies (AMLTEC®) is a 3D parts manufacturer focusing on Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAM®). This is a rapidly growing industry that challenges traditional “subtractive” metal technologies such as casting, forging and machining. It is suitable for the production of medium to large scale engineering structures of high integrity at low cost.

What is WAM®?
WAM® combines an electric arc as a heat source with wire as feedstock to produce free-form parts. The wire ARC welding technique is integrated with a specifically programmed welding robot to manufacture large metal parts from 3D computer aided drawings to a near-net shape which is then machine finished. WAM® brings together state of the art welding, CAD software design and robotics technology.
Large Scale 3D Printing
The ground breaking use of Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAM®) welding techniques for 3D printing creates large metal parts quickly and efficiently. The process is used to build parts layer by layer producing metal parts to the highest integrity.
WAM® vs Traditional Methods
The traditional methods of casting, forging and machining from large blocks of metal are time consuming, costly and produce immense scrap material. By using the WAM® process this wastage of material is reduced by up to 80% and manufacturing times are reduced by 75%. Excess machining and long lead manufacturing times for parts are reduced significantly, therefore reducing costs.
