| Huisman's unique Arc and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology can be used to produce mid- to large-scale components with high-grade drawn steel, capable of managing highly complex shapes with shorter delivery times and creating alternative material properties to Improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance.This large-scale, metallic 3D printing method is particularly useful for making crane hooks because larger hooks mean more consistent quality and significant delivery time reduction at a cost that can Comparable to forging and casting methods.  The company recently successfully tested the world's first 3D-printed crane hook, a four hook that weighs nearly 1,000 kilos and is able to pass its 80-ton load test and all other quality control checks.This success means that Huisman WAAMs can now be used to make reliable parts that are not physically possible or not feasible in previous productions. As WAAM expands its use, Huisman intends to further refine its technology by continuing to reduce the cost of the technology and add manufacturing capacity to 2500 kg of printed weight. |
