In the current days, the new range of machine tools allows the production of titanium
alloy parts for the aeronautical sector through additive technologies. The quality of the materials
produced is being studied extensively by the research community. This new manufacturing
paradigm also opens important challenges such as the definition and analysis of the optimal
strategies for finishing-oriented machining in this type of part. Researchers in both materials and
manufacturing processes are making numerous advances in this field. This article discusses the
analysis of the production and subsequent machining in the quality of TI6Al4V produced by Wire
Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), more specifically Plasma Arc Welding (PAW). The
promising results observed make it a viable alternative to traditional manufacturing methods.This research was funded by the vice-counseling of technology, innovation and competitiveness of the
Basque Government grant agreement kk-2019/00004 (PROCODA project)
