Wire　arc　additive　manufacturing　(WAAM)　has　become　a　promising　metal　3D　printing　technology　for　fabricating　large-scale　and　complex-shaped　components.　One　major　problem　that　limits　the　application　of　WAAM　is　the　difficulty　in　controlling　the　dimensional　accuracy　under　constantly　changing　interlayer　temperatures.　During　the　deposition　process,　as　the　wall　height　increases,　the　heat　accumulates　on　the　upper　layers,　which　leads　to　the　variation　of　the　layer　dimensions.　Normal　practices　such　as　introducing　idle　time　and　actively　cooling　the　workpiece　to　mitigate　such　problems　lack　efficiency　and　practicality,　respectively.　A　novel　process　planning　strategy　is　proposed　in　this　paper　and　aims　to　achieve　a　continuous　deposition　process　while　ensuring　dimensional　accuracy.　With　the　aid　of　a　finite　element　model,　the　typical　thermal　transfer　cycle　of　the　workpiece　was　analyzed　and　then　divided　into　different　stages.　When　depositing　material,　the　interlayer　temperature　of　the　subsequent　layers　can　be　predicted　using　the　developed　algorithm.　Hence,　the　process　parameters　(e.g.,　wire　feed　speed　and　travel　speed)　can　be　varied　according　to　the　predicted　interlayer　temperature　using　the　developed　adaptive　process　model,　and　this　will　ensure　the　uniform　layer　dimensions.　The　effectiveness　of　the　proposed　technique　is　verified　by　a　large-scale　shell-shaped　component　with　a　total　of　753　layers.　The　result　shows　that　such　technique　succeeds　in　a　continuous　fabrication　of　the　component　with　high　accuracy　and　efficiency.
