This achievement marks a significant milestone in distributed manufacturing, showcasing how digital production can revolutionize the supply chain for an industry heavily reliant on continuous operation and rapid response times. The series highlighted the potential for enhanced efficiency, reduced costs, and increased supply-chain resilience through secure, on-demand manufacturing.
The core of the project involved printing certified polymer spare parts at various HP partner locations around the world. These locations utilized HP's Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) systems, a cutting-edge 3D printing technology, integrated with the secure Assembrix software platform. This integration ensured the integrity and confidentiality of the designs throughout the entire printing process.
A key example of the parts produced during this series was a set of polymer valve handwheels. These handwheels, designed by Korall Engineering specifically for oil and gas service applications, are essential for the manual operation of non-critical valves found on ships and offshore platforms. The successful printing of these parts demonstrates the capability to produce functional, certified components remotely, addressing a critical need within the industry.
The collaboration between Assembrix, HP, Sparely, and Korall Engineering underscores the transformative potential of additive manufacturing in the oil and gas sector. By enabling secure and distributed production, this innovative approach promises to streamline operations, minimize downtime, and create a more agile and responsive supply chain for the global energy industry.
