AML3D's ARCEMY® Empowering UK and European Industry with Scalable Wire-based Additive Manufacturing
From aerospace and defence to clean energy and critical infrastructure, ARCEMY® enables certified, sustainable metal part production at the point of need—reducing lead times, emissions, and reliance on global supply chains.
Designed for Sovereign Capability and Industrial Resilience
AML3D's ARCEMY® is a wire-arc metal additive manufacturing (WAAM) system tailored to support the UK and Europe’s most vital sectors:
AML3D's ARCEMY® systems are built to additively manufacture parts to comply with Lloyd’s Register certification and various global manufacturing standards, ARCEMY® supports both agile prototyping and industrial production.
Proven Globally, Built for the UK/EU Industry.
Why ARCEMY® for the UK and Europe?
Scalable Configurations
AML3D's ARCEMY® comes in four configurable editions—Education for research and development, Small, Enterprise, and X—to meet your operational footprint.
- Small Edition: Compact, accessible, and versatile—ideal for training, prototyping, and small-to-medium parts.
- Enterprise Edition: Industry-ready, with dual-wire automation and increased production envelope.
- X Edition: Designed for large-format part manufacturing in high-demand environments.
Systems can be positioned on-site or near-site for strategic advantage.
Built for Certification.
Build parts that can be sertified to Lloyd’s Register and DNV standards. AML3D's ARCEMY® enables the production of critical metal components with validated repeatability and mechanical integrity. Built with materials including Titanium, Inconel, Stainless Steel, and Aluminium—all backed by rigorous testing protocols.
- Defence-readiness.
- Maritime certification pathways.
- Aerospace-grade material capability.
Each build can be supported by robust QA/QC procedures and mechanical property validation—ensuring repeatable results that meet defence, maritime, and aerospace requirements.
Software that Powers Precision Manufacturing
Digital Intelligence Built In: WAMSoft® + AMLSoft™
ARCEMY® is powered by a dual-layer software suite designed to streamline, control, and certify every aspect of metal additive manufacturing. Together, WAMSoft® and AMLSoft™ deliver full-stack control over the additive process—ensuring consistency, traceability, and certification readiness.
WAMSoft® - Intelligent Path Planning for Complex Metal Parts
WAMSoft® is AML3D’s proprietary software allowing you to transform CAD models into certifiable metal builds with layer-based toolpath optimisation and multi-directional print strategies. Ideal for complex geometries and sector-specific performance requirements.
Layer-by-Layer Optimisation
WAMSoft® intelligently slices 3D models into precise layers, automatically generating deposition paths for each. Users can interact with both 2D (layer-specific) and 3D visualisations to analyse and refine the build plan—enabling rapid iteration and process optimisation before printing begins.
Multi-Part Strategy for Complex Builds
For large or geometrically complex components, WAMSoft® supports multi-part segmentation. This allows the CAD file to be divided into distinct stages, each with its own optimised welding strategy and path-planning technique—ideal for high-integrity builds with variable geometry and functional zones.
Multidirectional Path Planning
Leveraging the ARCEMY® cell’s robotic and positioner configuration, WAMSoft® creates multidirectional toolpaths that maximise the flexibility of the system’s available axes. This capability ensures optimal torch angles and weld positioning, enhancing part quality, mechanical performance, and geometric accuracy.
AMLSoft™ - Your Digital Additive Toolkit
AMLSoft™ is the operational backbone of ARCEMY®. Manage critical parameters like arc voltage, wire feed rate, gas flow, and thermal performance. AMLSoft™ ensures live monitoring, process traceability, and smart automation for reduced operator oversight.
Seamless Path Execution
AMLSoft™ interprets detailed toolpaths from WAMSoft® and translates them into coordinated robotic movement and material deposition. Every step of the build is logged and tracked in real-time, giving ARCEMY® operators full visibility and traceability over the manufacturing process.
Real-Time Process Management
AMLSoft™ continuously monitors critical parameters, including:
- Arc voltage and current.
- Wire feed rate and gas flow.
- Interpass temperature.
- Deposition rates.
These values are logged for every build and can be reviewed to meet industry compliance and part qualification standards, ensuring stable, repeatable performance.
Automation and Efficiency
With input from ARCEMY®’s integrated sensor network, AMLSoft™ automates decision-making across each bead and layer—minimising operator intervention while enhancing build reliability.
- Tracking of consumables (wire, gas) and maintenance cycles.
- Smart triggers for welding tip cleaning and process resets.
