The University of Limerick, a leading Research Institution and University in Ireland, is home to the specialized Metal Plasticity and Additive Manufacturing Group (MPAM). This group conducts cutting-edge research focused on the additive manufacturing of metal components. They utilize an advanced robot welding cell, which is adaptable for both Direct Energy Deposition (DED) and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), enabling large-scale fabrication. Their work is also focused on material characterization and includes research into plasticity modeling of titanium and steel alloys fabricated via additive manufacturing. MPAM is actively involved in presenting their research, such as their work on elastoplastic response modeling of additively manufactured metals, at international conferences.
