Caracol and Eligio Re Fraschini Validate WAAM for Aerospace Tooling with 50% Weight Reduction

Italian aerospace tooling specialist Eligio Re Fraschini partnered with robotic additive manufacturing company Caracol on a co-funded pilot project to test whether wire arc additive manufacturing could viably replace conventional methods for complex aerospace tooling components.  The target was a spar tool used in carbon fiber lamination processes, a component defined by tight tolerances, complex…
