Thus, in addition to sand and centrifugal casting, additive manufacturing with an automated welding robot and an XXL plastic printer have been implemented. For example, a hybrid robot-assisted production process consisting of additive and subtractive manufacturing was used to produce a drinking fountain, which allows the component to grow in an automated and targeted manner. Due to the low energy input in the CMT process, complex and large-format component geometries can also be implemented. Different strategies in thin-walled as well as thick-walled areas are a prerequisite for optimized component generation. With regard to cost and resource efficiency, the technology opened up many potentials compared to conventional manufacturing methods - in particular the drastic shortening of manufacturing and product development cycles as well as the reduction of the necessary material input.
