And yes, it is sometimes used to build 3d metal shapes from scratch by hand by our artist welders. Don't know if it was ever done in computer controlled manner. | |

The two are very similar in construction and even look similar, so I guess your engineer is right. | |

| Oct 21, 2022 at 15:53 | comment | added | Trish | Is that really a TIG (with a modification that feeds the filler along the axis next to the tungsten tip) or a MIG that uses the wire as an electrode? | |
