Abstract
This thesis was aimed at exploring the potentials of combining Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) as a means of stiffening and adding connection details to thin sheet metal as an application in free-form metal facades. Sparked by the motivation to reduce the number of components which are usually synonymous with such construction and developing an integrated design-to-production process involving the generating of details, using 3D scan data to analyze non-planar sheet metal and adapt details accordingly, and finally generating and communicating welding paths to a robotic welding device.
