3D printing benefits in the oil and gas industr y
Faster product development and design flexibility It offers faster product development and design flexibility, enabling better response to market opportunities and identification of design flaws before production.
Economic low-volume productio
3D printing holds promise for economic low-volume production in the oil and gas industry, although its adoption has been slower in this area compared to other sectors
Faster repair of high-value components The technology also facilitates faster repair of high-value components in the oil and gas industry, presenting significant potential for the sector.
Reduced costs
Reduced costs are a crucial driver for the adoption of 3D printing in the oil and gas industry. Companies in this sector are exerting pressure on component manufacturers to reduce manufacturing costs and lead times.
3D Printing Applications in the Oil & Gas Sector
D Metalforge and Shell Collaborate to Make Heat Exchanger Parts
At the end of 2021, 3D Metalforge announced that it had collaborated with Shell Jurong Island, a dedicated chemical manufacturing site based in Singapore and owned by Shell, to provide 3D printed heat exchanger parts
A 3D Printed Pressure Vessel from AML3D
The project involves the design of a metal pressure vessel, 8 meters long and 1.5 meters in diameter, with a total weight of 2000 lbs, using 3D printing. It is believed to be the largest commercially available 3D printed vessel on the market.
with its Wire Additive Manufacturing (WAM®) process, which is derived from DED and combines an electric arc with certified welding wire.
