Weld Wednesdays w/ AWS Future-Proofing Welding Careers: Automation, AI, and Additive Manufacturing Feat. Teresa Melfi & Josh Sullivan

from Arc Junkies · host Jason Becker

In this episode of Weld Wednesday with AWS, I'm joined by Teresa Melfi and Josh Sullivan from Lincoln Electric to talk about the evolving role of automation, robotics, additive manufacturing, and artificial intelligence in the welding industry. Teresa shares insights from her 40+ year career—from being a certified welder to her work on waveform design and advanced robotic systems. Josh dives into alloy R&D and how Lincoln is leveraging AI to improve filler metal development for additive processes. We also explore how automation is improving ergonomics, broadening access to welding careers, and why these technologies aren't replacing welders—they're expanding the industry. Whether you're new to welding or looking to future-proof your career, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Attend FabTech 2025 in Chicago aws.org/fabtech Learn more about AWS AWS.org
