Developing 3D Welding Process with SIEMENS NX and KUKA Robot Manipulator
摘要
Additive manufacturing (AM) has brought significant changes to the manufacturing industry. Among various AM methods, Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is known for its cost-effectiveness and speed in creating metal structures. This paper discusses the development and initial testing of WAAM on a robotic system using Siemens NX. The system converts a CAD model into G-code and translates it to KUKA Robotic Language (KRL).This results in a complex welding trajectory useful for high quality prototype products or additional welding on semi-finished products.
