“…This method has been demonstrated to be powerful due to advantages of high productivity, low cost, and strong bonding strength of parts [7]. Related research efforts have been widely explored, e.g., microstructure, residual stress, surface quality and mechanical properties of parts deposited by robotic GMAW [8], establishment of slicing principle, system implementation, and metal transfer control in GMAW-based AM [9], combination of GMAW as an additive and milling as a subtractive to improve surface quality of components [10,11], calculation of optimum overlapping distance in GMAW-based AM process [12][13][14], and building steel-bronze bimetal parts [15].…”

Additive manufacturing based on gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is gaining increasing popularity as the process allows fabrication of fully dense parts with high material efficiencies and deposition rates. This paper aims at studying forming characteristics of multi-layer single-pass parts. Influences of arc current, deposit velocity, and heat input on layer formation were analyzed by using a passive vision sensor. Based on the results, the arc current has the greatest effect on the forming appearance, and a better understanding of the forming characteristics and process specification interval in multi-layer single-pass GMAW-based additive manufacturing can be obtained. Some newly improved GMAW methods were considered to improve deposition rates in multi-layer single-pass additive manufacturing process.

“…(Zhang et al, 2003), (Song et al, 2005), or (Doumanidis and Kwak, 2002). The GMAW process uses DC current to create an arc between a consumable metal wire electrode (the actual filler material) and the substrate.…”

“…Additive manufacturing process such as inkjet printing (Derby, 2010), micro-fabrication (Fathi and Dickens, 2013;Vaezi et al, 2013), rapid prototyping (O'Neill et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2003) and aerosol jetting (Mette et al, 2007), characterized with direct patterning, has drawn greater attention in the manufacture of electronic products such as RFID tags (Subramanian et al, 2005), polymer transistor circuits (Sirringhaus et al, 2000) and solar cell fine line metallization (Gizachew et al, 2011). In the process of printed lines formation, multiple droplets made up of functional materials need to be deposited precisely on the substrate and forms a conductive line.…”
