Industrial AM in Mo Industripark is now certified by DNV for metal 3D printing. This marks an important step for the company and for an industry looking toward more efficient and sustainable production methods.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have received a certificate confirming that both the company and the printer meet the standards required for 3D printing by DNV,\u201d says Rolf Skogvold, Project Manager at Momek Robotics, co-owner of Industrial AM and Business Developer at Industrial AM.<\/p>\n

With the ST-B203 certification, the company can now supply parts to customers with strict requirements for quality and traceability, including those in the oil and gas sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is absolutely essential. When delivering components for critical systems, you must be able to document that the quality is at least as high as with traditional manufacturing methods. This certification gives us that assurance,\u201d Skogvold explains.<\/p>\n

The model Joakim Fagerbakk is working on here will soon become a finished metal product manufactured in Industrial AM\u2019s large-format printer.<\/p><\/div>\n

On the path to full material certification<\/strong><\/p>\n

The facility and processes at Industrial AM are now certified. The next step is material certification.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working with four different materials and expect to have the certifications completed by January. That will open up entirely new opportunities. So far, we have mainly supplied non-critical components, but with fully approved materials we can supply to significantly more applications,\u201d says Skogvold.<\/p>\n

Industrial AM is collaborating with major industry players such as Equinor and Aker BP, who have supported the initiative both financially and technically from the beginning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are also exploring how they can adopt this technology in their own value chains,\u201d says Skogvold.<\/p>\n

In the software, the 3D model is sliced and translated into a precise print program. This is how the metal components are built layer by layer.<\/p><\/div>\n

Local, efficient and sustainable<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditionally, metal components are cast or machined from solid blocks \u2013 a process that is both time-consuming and resource-intensive.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to make a component today, you typically start with a large block of stainless steel and machine away perhaps 80 percent of the material. With 3D printing, we build the object layer by layer using welding wire and remove only 3 to 5 millimeters of excess material afterward. That saves both time and resources,\u201d says Andr\u00e9 Moen Eide, Managing Director of Momek Robotics.<\/p>\n

Along with increased flexibility and quality, Skogvold highlights several benefits of producing components locally in Mo Industripark.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are located in the middle of an industrial cluster where companies order parts from all over the world. That means long transport routes, tolls, high costs and the risk of delays. By producing locally, we can ensure shorter delivery times and reduce both waste and emissions from transport. And we can deliver in just a few days. It offers an entirely new level of agility,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Industrial AM in Mo Industripark is now certified by DNV for metal 3D printing.
