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.

Sustainability

With additive manufacturing you reduce waste by using less material than with machining technologies.

Solutions

Find your ideal solution

We are at your service to help you identify which of the components you currently produce are best suited to additive technology. We will support you in choosing the most suitable materials for your application and in determining the best printing strategy to create your parts.

Thanks to our solutions, you can reduce your spare parts procurement time, avoiding full warehouses or waiting for parts to arrive from far away. We will support you in the design, prototyping and production of the final parts, giving you the opportunity to experiment with new shapes and digitally customize each part according to its use.
