  • Publication number: 20250108448
    Abstract: A welding system for building a workpiece includes a first wire feeder, a second wire feeder, a torch, and a controller. The torch is configured to receive a first wire electrode from the first wire feeder and a second wire electrode from the second wire feeder. The controller is configured to control the first wire feeder to drive the first wire electrode into the torch at a first feed rate, and simultaneously control the second wire feeder to drive the second wire electrode into the torch at a second feed rate.

  • Patent number: 11731208
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods of additive manufacturing are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computer control apparatus accesses multiple planned build patterns corresponding to multiple build layers of a three-dimensional (3D) part to be additively manufactured. A metal deposition apparatus deposits metal material to form at least a portion of a build layer of the 3D part. The metal material is deposited as a beaded weave pattern, based on a planned path of a planned build pattern, under control of the computer control apparatus. A weave width, a weave frequency, and a weave dwell of the beaded weave pattern may be dynamically adjusted during deposition of the beaded weave pattern. The adjustments are under control of the computer control apparatus based on the planned build pattern, as a width of the build layer varies along a length dimension of the build layer.
