Subsea 3D Printing Tech Targeted for 2022
repair defects, with support from the Research Council of Norway through the PETROMAKS 2 program. The company will use 3D printing to rebuild damaged metal structures - layer by layer – allowing permanent repairs and implementing new functionality as needed.“The rapid development of 3D printing technology is creating new opportunities and markets going forward,” says Brede Lærum, head of 3D printing at Equinor. “Combining this technology with Kongsberg Ferrotech’s robots opens many exciting new possibilities for subsea repairs and modifications. We are looking forward
World First: Patrol Vessels Deploy 3D Printers
3D printing technology developed in Darwin will be deployed by the Royal Australian Navy in a world-first trial that will streamline the maintenance of patrol vessels.The Morrison Government will invest $1.5 million in the two-year Supersonic Deposition 3D printer pilot, which will lead to a significant increase of parts availability compared to what the regular supply chain can provide.Minister for Defense Industry, the Hon Melissa Price MP, congratulated the Charles Darwin University’s Advanced Manufacturing Alliance, along with industry partner SPEE3D, for producing the cutting edge and
Renishaw Opens Office in Taiwan
well as its full range of industrial metrology products, including probe sensors for CMMs and CNC machine tools, calibration systems, position encoders, flexible gauging systems and Raman spectroscopy products, Renishaw is also actively promoting and sharing its advanced metal additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology in Taiwan. The official opening ceremony was performed by Lai, together with Jean-Marc Meffre, Managing Director of Renishaw Far East; George Norris, Acting Deputy Representative of the British Office Taipei; Mi-Ching Tsai, Deputy Minister of Ministry of Science & Technology
3D Printed Prototypes for Kraken
Axis Prototypes helped shortened the product development cycle for a marine technology company Kraken Sonar Inc. 3D printing technology or additive manufacturing (AM) gives manufacturers the ability to churn our prototypes of with simple to complex geometries quickly and cost-effectively. Axis Prototypes, a 3d printing company based in Montreal, recently demonstrated these benefits when a marine technology company needed parts under a tight deadline. Kraken Sonar Inc. is a rapidly growing marine technology company that designs, develops and markets advanced sonar and acoustic velocity
