Additive manufacturing for the Energy, Oil & Gas industry

The current evolution of the energy sector is moving toward increasingly green and sustainable modes of generation. Nevertheless, the types of components used in this sector largely present the same characteristics: they are in fact parts made in very small runs, which are particularly complex and expensive.

With metal additive manufacturing for the energy industry, you can discover that there is a viable and innovative alternative that can cut costs and improve the efficiency of your production.

More than anything else, downtime due to the need to change worn parts affects the costs of energy companies. Thanks to additive  manufacturing, the required components can be produced on site, without having to wait for spare parts and thus minimizing downtime.

Additive manufacturing, and in particular Prima Additive’s technology, meet the needs of this sector in two ways: with powder bed fusion technology to make parts only when they are needed, avoiding keeping expensive parts in stock for long periods, and with direct energy deposition technology for repairing components with high added value.

This allows for more sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing, using less material than machining technologies, and also allows worn components to be remanufactured and given a new lease on life without the need to buy new ones. All where it is needed, simplifying the supply chain.
