What Addept3D does
Addept3D Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-incorporated precision manufacturing company founded in 2021 as a joint venture between Accuron Technologies, a Singapore-based engineering and technology holding company, and WAAM3D, a UK-based specialist in Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology. The company sells integrated WAAM systems and parts-production services for the manufacture of large metal components and structures across aerospace, construction, defence, energy, industrial, marine, petrochemicals, and semiconductor end markets. Its core technology uses an electric arc (TIG, MIG, MAG, or Plasma Transferred Arc) to melt commodity welding wire feedstock, which a robotic arm deposits in planned sequences to build near-net-shape geometry, eliminating the tooling, lead time, and material waste associated with conventional forging and casting.
Addept3D's product portfolio is built around two hardware platforms — the industrial RoboWAAM (MKII, commissioned 2020, with 40 in-process sensors and the WAAMCtrl operating system) and the compact MiniWAAM (launched 2024, 600mm x 600mm x 500mm working envelope) — supported by bespoke end-effectors, ShapeTech interferometric sensing, and a proprietary software suite (WAAMPlanner for slicing and trajectory, WAAMSim for simulation and collision checking, WAAMKeys for material-specific parameter allocation and layer control, and WAAMCtrl for monitoring, control, digital twin mapping, and quality logging). Wire feedstock is sold as a recurring consumable. Services include First-Right Part Printing (proof-of-concept production in titanium, steel, nickel, or aluminium) and Parts Production for Industrialisation (either supplying a fully integrated system or producing parts directly for the customer).
The company operates an enterprise field-sales model with a structured customer journey from introduction and business-driver discussion to proof-of-concept and industrialization. Distribution is centralized through direct sales: equipment is sold regionally into Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand), while parts-production services are delivered globally to customers in France, Germany, and the United States. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and solutions are quoted case-by-case. Addept3D is privately held by its two JV parents, with no external venture capital or private equity funding disclosed in the source data; the organization had 7 employees at the time of data capture.

Product offeringCore offering
Addept3D provides integrated Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) solutions for producing large metal components. The portfolio includes WAAM hardware systems (RoboWAAM™ and MiniWAAM®), proprietary software (WAAMPlanner, WAAMKeys, WAAMSim, WAAMCtrl), bespoke End Effectors, and WAAM-grade wire materials. The company also delivers First-Right Part Printing services (proof of concept in titanium, steel, nickel, aluminium) and Parts Production for Industrialisation, either supplying integrated systems to customers or producing parts on their behalf.
Product overview
Addept3D is a Singapore-based precision manufacturing company providing a comprehensive suite of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM®) solutions for producing large metal components and structures. The product portfolio consists of two integrated hardware systems — MiniWAAM® (compact solution with 600mm x 600mm x 500mm working envelope) and RoboWAAM™ (industrial-standard manufacturing machine) — both supported by proprietary software including WAAMPlanner (slicing and trajectory), WAAMSim (simulation), WAAMCtrl (operating system with monitoring and safety management), and WAAMKeys (defect elimination and layer control). The company also offers End Effectors (processing heads with sensing capabilities) and Wire Materials (feedstock). Services include First-Right Part Printing (proof of concept production in titanium, steel, nickel, or aluminium) and Parts Production for Industrialisation (systems provision or direct production). The hardware and software are designed to work seamlessly together within the WAAM3D ecosystem, enabling manufacturers to achieve enhanced part quality and consistency.
