The Usage of Additive Manufacturing(3DPrinting)In the Maritime Industry

Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, is the technique of creating three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file.There are many potential benefits of 3D printing for the maritime industry such as 3D printing spare components ashore for delivery to ships, and 3D printing spare parts onboard ships. Small replacement parts such as impellers, valves, and pipe fittings can be printed onboard by ships equipped with appropriate 3D printers. This minimizes wait times and allows the rapid and geographically independent supply of replacement parts and components. Since 2017, 3D printed high-load items such as propellers and crane hooks have been authorized by DNV, RINA, Lloyds Register, and ABS meaning that when printed parts are properly built, they are able to meet Class standards. With the permission of major classification organizations and numerous important marine enterprises, 3D printing in the maritime industry can only grow in popularity as it matures. This paper aims to show the principle of work of the 3D printer, possibilities of integration, and application in the maritime sector with the example of 3D printing in the maritime industry.
