Wilhelmsen Ships Service partners with Ivaldi Group to fulfil the vision of disrupting the supply chain for marine parts, whereby the existing supply chain process will be replaced with a customized, on demand, and more efficient process of 3D printing – starting with a 3D printing micro factory in Wilhelmsen’s Pandan Loop facility in Singapore.
3D printing technology opens up several new possibilities like:
- Reduced costs associated with marine parts and their delivery
- Shorter transportation and delivery time
- Availability of unobtainable marine parts for ships older than 10 years
- Typical parts procurement takes up to months but 3D printing could take just days
- Improved part design according to customer needs and use on board
