What You’ll Learn

• Preventing a $1T Economic Disruption: See how Lincoln Electric helped avert a potential $1.1 trillion GDP impact by restoring critical infrastructure at the Soo Locks ahead of schedule.
• Challenges of Aging Infrastructure: Learn how a 60-year-old, highly specialized component failure exposed the risks of long lead times and limited sourcing options for large, custom parts.
• Speed Advantage of Large-Scale 3D Printing: Discover how wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) reduced production time from 18 months to just 3 months鈥攁n 84% lead time reduction.
• Manufacturing at Massive Scale: Explore how Lincoln Electric produced a nearly 14-foot, 6,000+ lb component鈥攖he largest U.S. civil works part ever 3D printed.
• End-to-End Production Expertise: Understand the full workflow鈥攆rom printing and 3D scanning to CNC machining, precision welding, and final inspection鈥攅nsuring structural integrity and performance.
• Enhanced Strength and Performance: Learn how the 3D-printed lever arm achieved 20鈥�30% greater strength than traditional cast components while meeting extreme operational demands.
• Proven Impact for Critical Infrastructure: See how this project sets a precedent for using additive manufacturing in large-scale civil works, signaling a shift in how complex, mission-critical components are produced.
