Despite this, there is few researches on the design method and application of WAAM technology in the aircraft industry. The overall aim of this paper is to study the machinability of the part manufactured through is process especially when a base plate is require. The results showed that removing the best plate prior or after machining can have a significant effect on the overall effective wall width of the samples.</p> A Adebayo, J.T Stephen Copyright (c) 2017 CB http://archive.conscientiabeam.com/index.php/84/article/view/2398 Mon, 26 Jun 2017 00:00:00 -0500
