Additive Manufacturing (AM) can vastly accelerate the delivery of urgently needed spare parts and create highly complex shapes.Â
Ship propellers, cryogenic valves, crank discs, heat exchangers and thruster blades are examples of what advanced AM technology can produce. DNV’s class rules and services for AM allow AM feedstocks, processes and safety-critical AM parts to be included in the classification regime. The number of DNV-approved suppliers and manufacturers is growing.Â
