Highlights
- AML3D’s proprietary WAM®, advanced manufacturing technology has received a world first Additive Manufacturing Facility Accreditation from DNV.
- The accreditation allows AML3D to access DNV’s high value, global customer base as a supplier of ‘Class certified’ steel and nickel aluminium bronze components.
- AML3D is the first and only AM company globally using wire feedstock to be approved by DNV to ‘class certify’ operationally critical Oil & Gas and Marine AM components1
- DNV Accreditation aligns with AML3D’s strategy to access immediate term growth from the Marine industry by extending WAM® to high value, class certified parts.
More from the News
AML3D is the first wire feedstock based Additive Manufacturing company to achieve this accreditation: Approval to produce Class certified components made of “Steel for hull structure and equipment; Copper alloys for valves, fittings and general applications as per DNV’s rules”1, which operate in extreme load, pressure or corrosive environments. This provides a significant competitive advantage to AML3D as, currently, the only wire-feed additive manufacturer accredited to supply these high value parts to DNV’s global customer base.
AML3D’s DNV accreditation follows the recent announcement of the implementation of the AS9100D:2016 Standard for aerospace components and AML3D’s previous world first wire-arc additive manufacturing facility certification by Lloyd’s Register. AML3D estimates that, in combination, the DNV and Lloyd’s Register’s customer base give the company access to close to two thirds of the global market for high value, class certified, marine components3
The DNV Accreditation closely aligns with AML3D’s growth strategy to increase sales of existing products, access new markets and sales and expand our potential customer base. It also aligns with AML3D’s strategy to focus on enhancing the quality of its products and service to enhance customer satisfaction.
