One of Brazil’s leading technical institutions, IFMA (Instituto Federal do Maranhão), has chosen MetalWorm’s Robotic WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) system.
This is more than just a commercial sale—it’s the first step of an international technology transfer and a strong scientific collaboration in the Brazilian region.
Our Robotic WAAM system will be used in IFMA’s Department of Mechanics and Materials Engineering for critical areas such as:
- New alloy development
- WAAM process research
- Toolpath planning and digital twin-assisted production
- Applied engineering education
With a history dating back to 1909, IFMA plays a key role in engineering education, technical research, and industrial applications in Brazil. The Department of Mechanics and Materials at the Monte Castelo campus stands out with its industrial projects and hands-on training opportunities.
MetalWorm, in partnership with our local reseller Wietech 3D, we are excited to contribute to the global spread of WAAM technology and to collaborate with a strong academic institution like IFMA.
This installation is a significant step in realizing MetalWorm’s vision of globalizing its WAAM technology.
