An environmental impact comparison between wire + arc additive manufacture and forging for the production of a titanium component

“…Additive manufacturing (AM) is a technique which has gained recent interest for the production of high value components in heavy industries such as defence, maritime, energy and aerospace [1][2][3]. Primary advantages of AM production include a reduction in lead times [4], low material wastage [5], reduced manufacturing infrastructure and the capability to produce near net shape components [6].…”
