WEBINAR: How to Earn an Additive Manufacturing Qualification in the Energy Industry

Are you interested in learning about the certification process for additive-manufactured metallic parts used in energy, oil & gas, and maritime applications? In 3Dnatives’ latest webinar we explored the DNV-ST-B203 standard and the prestigious AM manufacturer certificate received by Aidro for Desktop Metal’s binder jetting technology. We were joined by not only Aidro and Desktop Metal, but also DNV, an international accredited registrar and classification society.

AM is revolutionizing the way components and parts are produced across various industries, and the energy sector holds great potential for usage. But to fully unlock the potential of AM in the energy industry, stringent qualification processes are necessary to guarantee the safety and reliability of critical components.

This exclusive webinar offered invaluable guidance on how to qualify and certify AM-produced parts for application in the energy, oil & gas, and maritime sectors. Attendees were also able to gain insights from Aidro, the pioneering manufacturer that earned DNV’s prestigious AM manufacturer certification for the binder jetting technology, including firsthand user experiences.

Additionally, by attending this webinar, attendees were able to invaluable knowledge about the realm of additive manufacturing in the energy sector. Not did they learn how to navigate the qualification process using binder jetting technology as an example, but also uncovered the potential of Live Monitor™ (shown in the video above) to remotely track production.
