January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
The WAV process was imagined and designed by a small team within CIDEAS Inc, an industrial 3D printing service bureau, with its roots dating back to 1998.
"WAV (pronounced wave) is a truly scalable, modular industrial additive manufacturing technology, which is expandable in both build size and speed," says Mike Littrell, founder of Paxis LLC and co-inventor of WAV. "The attributes of the WAV process will allow resin developers to re-think material development which was hindered by the limitations of previous technologies."
The company says WAV is capable of producing parts much larger than traditional AM systems sold today, but requires a smaller footprint (per cubic inch of volume) than laser, jetting or digital light processing (DLP) based process. It also claims WAV can reach projected speeds that are 4x, 8x, 24x+ faster than the fastest large vat systems on the market.
