Additive manufacturing of metallic parts has been separated into three basic categories such as powder bed systems, powder feed systems and wire feed systems. While powder bed systems are used for manufacturing of small 3D complex components because of their volumetric restrictions, powder and wire feed systems are preferred for production of large-scale metal workpieces. Wire-feed additive manufacturing method has been classified as laser-based, arc welding-based and electron beam-based according to used energy sources. Wire-feed additive manufacturing is a novel manufacturing research field due to its high material efficiency, material deposition rates and consideration as an environment-friendly manufacturing method. Recent investigations have been conducted on reducing of excessive heat input, residual stresses and distortions and improving of low part accuracy and last surface condition due to the “stair stepping” effect. Precise controlled droplet transfer with reducing the burning period of arc with short-circuit system called as Cold Metal Transfer material deposition method was reported. “Response Surface Methodology” optimization procedure was introduced to evaluate the effect of deposition parameters on weld bead characteristics. Investigations have been reported on the development of novel welding torches. The aim of the present manuscript is to give beneficial information about “wire-feed additive manufacturing method” which used for 3D metal part production and evaluate the rapid development of this method at industrial dimension from the viewpoint of net shape manufacturing.
