N2 - Historically, large machine tool structures have been manufactured as castings or weldments. Over the past several decades, the casting infrastructure within the United States has declined, leading to the international outsourcing of large structural components. Additive manufacturing (AM) may provide an alternative construction method that enables the reshoring production of these large machine tool structures. Additionally, the use of AM allows design features that are difficult or impossible to produce by traditional means. This paper outlines the design of the Y-axis structure for a gantry style, three-axis computer numerically controlled milling machine where the Y-axis structure will be produced using wire arc additive manufacturing.
