Metal 3D printing in shipbuilding
We are pleased to announce that our company is now a member of the Network for 3D Printing in the Maritime Industry (MN3D). The group’s common goal is to optimise additive manufacturing methods and bring products specifically for the maritime sector to market.
The MN3D network comprises 29 partners and we are looking forward to a lively exchange on the possibilities of additive repair, 3D generation and laser cladding for various maritime applications. We see great potential for this industry, especially in our ProFocus product line, in order to meet the special requirements resulting from the size of the components and their exposure to low-frequency vibrations and seawater.
Users in the shipbuilding industry can already benefit from new technological and economic advantages, such as the 3D repair of high-value components. This saves a company considerable costs compared to buying new components, not to mention potential supply chain problems.
Knowledge of the possibility of coating components with high-performance wear protection materials, e.g. nickel and cobalt-based alloys, is also becoming increasingly widespread, extending the service life of stressed components in the long term. With a focus on cost-effectiveness, quality and customer needs, OSCAR-PLT is well placed to provide future-proof solutions for the maritime industry.
