Ships are subjected to severe conditions of use and therefore require that the parts be resistant. The propeller blades have received Bureau Veritas certification , which allows their installation on military ships. Much faster production than traditional propellers. Conventional propellers sometimes require up to a year to be delivered, while the propeller produced using 3D took around a hundred hours to leave the factory. How does additive manufacturing work? More commonly known as 3D printing, additive manufacturing is a manufacturing process made possible by a 3D printer. It is a system for depositing successive layers of liquid resin microdrops and support resin, cured by UV flashing, thus recreating the volume of the 3D file. Originally used to produce smaller parts, 3D printing tends to democratize to be used more and more in the manufacture of larger parts.
