The benefits of 3D printing for the energy sector
CERTIFICATIONS & SAFETY STANDARDS
Key associations are working to facilitate the certification of parts manufactured with AM, especially thanks to innovation on advanced materials that guarantee safety
ON-SITE PRODUCTION & DIGITAL WAREHOUSING
With plants in remote areas, transport and storage can be costly. 3D print parts right on-site and save all your part file in an always accessible digital library
CUSTOM COMPLEX PARTS
Often components are assembled, bolted, welded, with lengthy lead times. With 3D printing redesign parts as one, produce, and install quickly and cost-efficiently
OBSOLETE PARTS
Thanks to reverse engineering and 3D printing, it is possible to maintain also older equipment and machinery which would otherwise have to be substituted
CUT DOWNTIMES
Equipment breakdowns can result in expansive plant downtimes, and quick production of temporary or permanent parts can ensure business continuity
SUSTAINABILITY
Reduce waste, material used by optimizing geometries, cut impact of logistics, and introduce more efficient production methods
