# NAMI purchases multiple 3D printers from 3D Systems

The [National Additive Manufacturing & Innovation Company (NAMI)](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/nami/), an additive manufacturing company based in Saudi Arabia, has purchased multiple [3D printers from 3D Systems](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/3d-systems/), including the DMP Factory 500, DMP Flex 350 Dual, and SLS 380, to support its recent collaboration with the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC). Through this initiative, [NAMI will leverage 3D printing](https://www.voxelmatters.com/nami-am-facility-to-be-qualified-for-oil-gas-parts-by-dnv/) to create a localized supply chain for spare parts for SEC, the largest producer, transmitter, and electrical energy distributor in the Middle East and North Africa.

As part of the project, NAMI will create a digital inventory system intended to reduce production time, physical storage requirements, and cost. 3D Systems’ solutions, including its metal and polymer 3D printing technologies and NoSupports printing strategies developed by its Application Innovation Group, are renowned for enabling the efficient production of precise end-use parts. The combined expertise of NAMI and 3D Systems will help deliver high-performance components such as pump impellers, fuel burners, motor fans, heat sinks, and heat exchangers, while reducing the SEC’s physical inventory requirements. This will enable the Saudi Electricity Company to mitigate supply chain risk while lowering costs and driving efficiency.

“[Our additive manufacturing solutions](https://www.voxelmatters.com/3d-systems-and-precision-resource-enter-metal-am-partnership/) have demonstrated their value for improving supply chain efficiency and accelerating innovation across a variety of industries,” said Reji Puthenveetil, EVP of Additive Solutions and COO at 3D Systems. “The combination of reverse engineering designs for obsolete parts and additive manufacturing helps extend the uptime and life of equipment. NAMI’s engineering and application capabilities combined with the power of our industry-leading 3D printing platforms will be invaluable tools to catalyze the collaboration with SEC. I’m looking forward to seeing how this work will not only benefit SEC but also the services it provides to its customers.”

NAMI is a joint venture between 3D Systems and Saudi Arabian Industrial Investments Company (Dussur) formed to help realize Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to build localized AM production capabilities with an initial focus on the defense, energy, and manufacturing sectors.

“Since NAMI’s inception, we have made significant progress in expanding the use of additive manufacturing within the region,” said Mohammed Swaidan, CEO of NAMI. “Our collaboration with SEC reinforces our commitment to address the energy sector, and 3D Systems’ technology and applications expertise form the foundation of a transformative solution. The work we are doing with SEC will not only enhance the reliability of SEC’s supply chain but also drive substantial cost efficiencies and operational improvements.”
