May I please have our members' opinions on two questions regarding additive manufacturing?
1. The most important issues that need to be resolved in Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing.
2. To a great extent, the design of metamaterials using topology optimization depends on the development of additive manufacturing technology. However, defects cannot be avoided in the additive manufacturing processes, which can easily counteract the efforts in the elaborate design. What do you think about the fabrication of metamaterial using additive manufacturing technology, especially when talking about metallic materials?
