| Abstract Scope |
Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is increasingly being used in various areas of production due to its advantages such as the ability to optimize parts, reduce weight, and simplify prototype creation. It has made its mark in industries like automotive, aerospace,Iron & Steel and dental. While more research is exploring its benefits, there are specific cases where 3D printing can offer advantages. Parts made through 3D printing can sometimes outperform those made with traditional methods due to their mechanical joining characteristics, but they need to be specifically designed to work with the technology's limitations. The maritime sector has been slow to embrace 3D printing due to established practices and strict classification standards in the shipbuilding industry. However, the potential benefits and challenges of adopting this technology are being explored. This document explores the ongoing research on the application of 3D printing in shipbuilding benefits |
