SLM Solutions supports standardization project in the Oil, Gas and Maritime Industry
Guideline and economic model for the additive manufacturing of qualified, functional metal parts
(PresseBox) - In January 2018 eleven companies started two seamlessly aligned Joint Innovation Projects (JIPs). The objective of the group, which has grown to 16 partners, is to collaborate in the development of a guideline and accompanying economic model for the additive manufacturing of qualified, functional metal (spare) parts for the Oil, Gas and Maritime industries.
The participating companies: Equinor, BP, Total, Kongsberg, OCAS, Ivaldi Group, TechnipFMC, Siemens, Voestalpine, Vallourec, Aidro, SLM Solutions, Additive Industries, Quintus, HIPtec and the Advanced Forming Research Centre of the University of Strathclyde are working on two coherent and seamlessly aligned programs:
A guideline towards certified parts, managed by DNV-GL
A toolbox for selection, supply chain set-up and economic viability, managed by Berenschot
The aligned set-up of the two programs secures maximum cross fertilization. SLM Solutions supports the projects by providing its technical expertise in additive manufacturing, specifically the successful implementation of Selective Laser Melting technology. Representing SLM Solutions in the JIP, Giulio Canegallo, Director of Business Development Energy, said ?Our aim is to make the SLM"
The practical guideline is to be made available by June 2019. It will provide a framework to ensure that metal parts produced via Selective Laser Melting Technology and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing are according to Oil, Gas and Maritime industry specifications. This means that parts meet stated quality and are manufactured in a safe and repeatable manner.
Up to five pilot parts will be produced for the project to ensure all necessary steps for repeatable, quality production. One example of these parts is a pump impeller that SLM Solutions manufactures for Equinor on the SLMwill be implemented in the final version of the guideline.
Also, to be released in June 2019, a comprehensive and fully functional business tool that will help determine the bottom-line impact of 3D printing spare parts compared to traditional manufacturing methods. This model will be tested during the Q2 part production process. In conjunction with this ROI-model a database of parts will be compiled to showcase the applicability of AM for spare parts in Oil, Gas and Maritime applications.
