Case Study-1: Oil and Gas
An intermediate connecting component designed for use in the Oil and Gas sector is manufactured using the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) method. This production aims to demonstrate the benefits of the WAAM method in terms of cost efficiency and reduced production time compared to conventional methods. Additionally, this process highlights the versatility of WAAM, showcasing its potential to produce both new and old designs and repair existing ones. This component has been meticulously crafted to showcase MetalWorm’s capabilities in handling complex geometries during the manufacturing process.
This Oil and Gas Component has a diameter of 435mm and a height of 300mm. The part weighs 51.39Kg. The production time is 48h 20m. This part is initially manufactured as the main body structure. The side flange is then created using the non-planar surface slicing strategy on the main body, and finally, the top flange is produced using the radial 360 strategy. The tool path of the part is generated using STEP file by the MetalWorm Robotic Tool Path Planning Software.
After the part is produced using WAAM, the upper and lower flange sections are processed with a CNC machine to finalize it.
Advantages:
- The BTF ratio is 1.1
- Lead Time is reduced by 60%
- Production costs are reduced by 81%
