Wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a common metal 3D printing technique that offers several benefits, including the high rate of deposition, cheap price, and efficacy for complex parts. Even though (WAAM) has demonstrated its ability to meet the demands of manufacture components on medium-to-large size made of (Al) for the automotive and other related industries, WAAM cannot currently use as a complete production procedure due to practical issues such as mechanical properties that aren’t matched and the presence of significant residual stresses. the AM technologies offer promising new benefits with the MMCs as a solution for some challenges. This article reviews the MMCs Mixing technique and their critical issues, AM classification, WAAM process with advantages and challenges. also reviews WAAM of some AMCs with different reinforcements and power sources. The results of the study of the influence of reinforcement particles on the structure showed that they were changed grains structure from the columnar dendrite to equiaxial dendrites after the solidification and improves hardness.
