What is DED (Direct Energy Deposition) technology and how does it work?
What is DED (Direct Energy Deposition)? Direct Energy Deposition is a family of metal additive manufacturing processes, such as WAAM, (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing), in which material is fed and melted at the same time to build or repair components layer by layer. It relies on a focused energy source, typically a laser , electron […]

Super Duplex, and why it is great for WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) Parts
Super Duplex Stainless Steel (SDSS) has become one of the most in‑demand materials for industries operating in harsh, corrosive, or high‑pressure environments. Its exceptional mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and durability make it a preferred choice for offshore structures, subsea components, chemical processing equipment, and energy infrastructure. As Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) continues to evolve, […]
Can MX3D’s Systems Be Deployed in Remote or Mobile Environments for Field Repairs?
Industries operating in remote, offshore, or high‑risk environments face a constant challenge: how to repair or replace critical metal components quickly when traditional supply chains are slow, expensive, or inaccessible. MX3D’s Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology offers a powerful solution. Thanks to its modular, robotic architecture, MX3D’s systems can be deployed in mobile or […]
How Is MX3D Enabling Defense and Aerospace Sectors to Localize Production?
Defense and aerospace organizations operate in environments where reliability, speed, and strategic autonomy are essential. These sectors depend on mission‑critical metal components that must meet strict performance and certification standards. However, traditional manufacturing methods often involve long lead times, complex supply chains, and dependence on foreign suppliers. MX3D’s Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology offers […]
What are the advantages of WAAM in offshore and subsea component manufacturing?
Offshore and subsea industries, including oil and gas, renewable energy, and marine engineering, operate in some of the harshest environments on the planet. Components must withstand extreme pressures, corrosion, mechanical stress, and unpredictable conditions. Traditional manufacturing methods often struggle to deliver large, custom, or corrosion-resistant parts quickly and cost-effectively. MX3D’s WAAM technology offers a powerful […]
How can MX3D support infrastructure resilience through on-site metal printing?
Infrastructure resilience has become a critical priority for governments, municipalities, and engineering firms worldwide. Aging bridges, pipelines, transportation networks, and industrial facilities require constant maintenance and rapid response capabilities, especially as climate change increases the frequency of extreme weather events. Traditional supply chains often struggle to deliver replacement parts quickly enough, particularly for large or […]
What Role Does MX3D Play in Circular Economy Initiatives for Metal Components?
The transition toward a circular economy is reshaping how industries design, manufacture, and maintain metal components. Traditional linear production models, extract, manufacture, use, and discard, are increasingly incompatible with global sustainability goals and the rising cost of raw materials. MX3D’s Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology offers a fundamentally different approach: one that prioritizes resource […]
