Abstract

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is one of the types additive manufacturing (AM) that uses the arc welding as the heating source and metal wire as the feedstock. Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is an additive manufacturing process utilizing arc welding and metal wire, showing promise for cost-effective and quick manufacture of large-scale metal structures. Despite its advantages, issues in controlling robot motions and designing welding torch trajectories continue. Researchers commonly adapt CNC machining G code for tool feed trajectory to fit welding gun action, utilizing programs like "MasterCAM" transformed by "Robotmaster" or "3D Automate." This work provides an alternate way to enhance flexibility and reliability in path planning for WAAM leveraging robot-based production of CAD files as a result, path planning for WAAM is based on open-source software such as “Cura” slicing software had been developed and the 3D model structure had been fabricated. The goal is to determine the path planning of wire arc additive manufacturing. To construct 3D model using robotic based on WAAM to establish the path planning and optimal parameter has been discovered. The path planning had been developed via slicer and compare it with the other framework to prove as proof for aim one achieved. Two parameters were employed based on past research to establish the appropriate parameter to apply in manufacture of complex model. The result of the parameter chosen were influenced the structure and the manufacturing of model. As conclusion, these objectives were achieved due to the prove of the complex model outcome.
