Investigating the Part Programming Process for Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing

Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing is a novel Additive Manufacturing technology. As a result, the process for progressing from a solid model to manufacturing code, i.e. the Part Programming process, is undeveloped. In this report the Part Programming process, unique for Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing, has been investigated to answer three questions; What is the Part Programming process for Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing? What are the requirements on the Part Programming process? What software can be used for the Part Programming process? With a systematic review of publications on Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing and related subjects, the steps of the Part Programming process and its requirements have been clarified. The Part Programming process has been used for evaluation of software solutions, resulting in multiple recommendations for implemented usage. Verification of assumptions, made by the systematic review, has been done by physical experiments to give further credibility to the results.
