TL;DR: In this paper, an in depth review of various process aspects of wire-feed additive manufacturing, including quality and accuracy of wirefeed AM processed components, is presented, and the overall objective is to identify the current challenges for wire feed additive manufacturing as well as point out the future research direction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the emerging research on wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) techniques and the commonly used metallic feedstock materials, and also provide a comprehensive over view of the metallurgical and material properties of the deposited parts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the tangent overlapping model (TOM) was proposed to model the geometry of multiple beads overlapping together in a wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process and the concept of critical centre distance for stable multi-bead overlapping processes was presented.

TL;DR: An algorithm to automatically generate optimal tool-paths for the wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process for a large class of geometries using a combination of zigzag and contour pattern strategies is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a path planning methodology based on the medial axis transformation (MAT) of the geometry is proposed for wire and arc additive manufacturing of thin-walled structures, which is shown to be particularly beneficial for thin-wall structures.
