With several very recent developments in the segment—from maritime and naval AM partnerships to research-led marine initiatives—August was a fitting month for our Maritime AM focus. At the end of this focus period, we are excited to present to you, our readers, a sea-riffic eBook that covers some of the latest advancements in the field.
Our analysis chapter illustrates how the maritime industry—though slower to embrace digital manufacturing than other industries like aerospace and automotive—is increasingly interested in using AM to solve supply chain and maintenance challenges. This trend, supported by VoxelMatters Research data, is very much on the rise. Next is an in-depth look at how Australian company AML3D, a specialist in WAM technology, is expanding its horizons and playing an increasingly important role in global naval and maritime industries through strategic partnerships at home as well as in the United States, United Kingdom and Europe.Â
In our following piece, CuNi takes center stage. Copper-nickel alloys are a foundational material in shipbuilding and maritime systems thanks to their excellent corrosion resistance, and the AM industry is meeting the needs of the maritime sector by developing and qualifying CuNi materials for a variety of AM platforms. Last but never least is our mapping chapter, which covers the growing number of AM companies that are operating in the industrial maritime segment. This includes AM services and organizations dedicated specifically to maritime applications as well as AM technology providers breaking into the maritime sphere through strategic partnerships.
VoxelMatters’ Maritime AM eBook can be viewed by scrolling through the document above or downloaded for viewing on your favorite mobile device. In our effort to maintain an open discourse and open access to AM news, the publication is free to access.
