Qualified AM is part of WAAMathon #3 in Berlin, a conference dedicated to the industrialization of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM).
A key highlight of the agenda is the panel discussion:
“Standardization and Certification: What else is needed for scaling up?”
Gregor Reischle (Qualified AM) will join the discussion alongside:
- Stephan Braun (KSB)
- Carl Hauser (ASTM UK International / Wohlers Associates)
- René Liers (Siemens Energy)
Focus of the discussion
The panel will address critical questions related to scaling WAAM towards industrial production:
- What gaps still exist in standards and certification frameworks?
- How can system and process qualification be implemented in a consistent and reproducible way?
- What is the role of in-process monitoring and digital traceability?
- How can certification become predictable and scalable for real-world applications?
The discussion targets key challenges that currently limit the transition from pilot projects to industrial deployment. The goal is to identify concrete requirements and next steps towards robust, audit-ready, and scalable WAAM production.
