MetalWorm delivers custom robotic WAAM system to Malaysian university

MetalWorm, based in Ankara, Türkiye, reports it has now delivered and installed a customised robotic Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) machine to a university in Malaysia, marking a further step in MetalWorm’s international expansion.
The deal with the university, announced in June 2025, was supported by partner Pebblereka, based in Subang Jaya, Malaysia, which has a network of over 500 customers and a portfolio of over 2,000 products to support the region’s Additive Manufacturing ecosystem.
“Our cutting-edge WAAM system will empower the university and its partners to explore new frontiers in research, education, and industrial-scale production – with agility, precision, and sustainability,” stated MetalWorm when the deal was first announced.

MetalWorm’s robotic WAAM machines, also referred to as wire-based Directed Energy Deposition (DED) machines, are customisable and include a range of monitoring and control options to meet the specific needs of clients. The machines are built on the framework of either the MetalWorm Compact System or the MetalWorm Special System and feature active cooling and heating technology, vibration technology, and arc voltage control.
This customised WAAM machine was engineered, built, and shipped in a matter of months. The machine has been installed in a dedicated, enclosed room at the university and is equipped with safety systems that are fully compliant with machine safety standards.
