Pleased to share our latest research on hybrid construction, featuring hot-rolled steel sections strengthened by wire arc additive manufacturing: doi.org/10.1016/j.engs…
This concept can be used for both new construction and the rehabilitation of existing structures.

2023 has been an enjoyable and productive year for us! Wishing all our colleagues, collaborators and friends around the world a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Steel Structures Research Group at Imperial College London ⭐

We assessed the environmental performance of WAAM by comparing the impacts of producing metal 3D printed structural components with those of producing them using hot-rolling

Full article: lnkd.in/deYv38tc

Is the use of metal 3D printing for the production of steel structural components more environmentally friendly than conventional hot-rolling?

For answers, check out our latest paper in the Journal of Cleaner Production!
