Biography
Rodolphe BOLOT is University Professor, and team leader (LTm, Laser Treatment of Materials, Le Creusot) at the Carnot Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Burgundy. He joined the LTm team at ICB in 2016, contributed to the development of dissimilar welding activities, locally launched the WAAM activity in 2022, and launched a WLAM activity from 2025. He is now implied in the development of a new hybrid manufacturing technology of large dimension solid parts, combining WAAM (printing of gastight containers) and Hot Isostatic Pressing of powder.

95 Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing of parts with direct programming: some examples
In this study, we demonstrate how direct programming (without slicing) can be used to print increasingly complex parts using Wire Arc Additive
Manufacturing. The first example is the printing of a powder container for hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of powder. For this, a solid circular bottom was printed first with a spiral trajectory. Then, a hollow cylinder is manufactured. Finally, a dome-type top is added. In this application, the manufactured hollow part is then filled with powder and subjected to HIP to create a solid part from the corresponding hollow preform. The final example is a simple
volute for a compressor or turbine application. We will demonstrate how to efficiently print this type of part based on multiple rotations of elementary points, lines and curves.
