Methods and System for Multiple Wire Feed Control For Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing

A welding system for building a workpiece, the system comprising:

• a first wire feeder;
• a second wire feeder;
• a torch configured to configured to receive, via a dual wire feeder connector, a first wire electrode from the first wire feeder and a second wire electrode from the second wire feeder;
• a controller comprising logic to:
• receive one or more parameters for determining one or more weld settings, wherein the one or more weld settings include a first feed rate of the first wire electrode and a second feed rate of the second wire electrode, and
• control the first wire feeder to drive the first wire electrode into the torch at the first feed rate and simultaneously control the second wire feeder to drive the second wire electrode into the torch at the second feed rate.
