Abstract

3D Printing / Additive manufacturing (AM) is poised to bring about a revolution in the way products are designed, manufactured, and distributed to end users. On-site manufacturing for maintenance becomes an important application of AM. More generally, goods can be printed locally via a distributed network of AM printers, thereby reducing lead times and transport costs. For example, on ships or on offshore platforms, instead of waiting days for spare parts to be shipped, they can be printed on site. However, one of the most serious hurdles to the broad adoption of additive manufacturing of materials is the qualification of additively manufactured parts. It is very important that industry must find alternatives to conventional qualification methods; these are likely based upon validated models, probabilistic methods, and part similarities. Part-by-part certification is costly, time consuming, and antithetical to achieving the industry’s vision of producing and using AM parts on demand. It is now very crucial for DNV GL to take lead in this new area by bringing together research and development efforts alongside real-world additive manufacturing practices to create new industry product certification guidelines - paving the way for more widespread adoption of the additive manufacturing technology to maintain current leadership in Ship/offshore Classification & O&G Verification services. This talk discusses opportunities and challenges for 3D printing in the Maritime, Oil & Gas and related industries and the need, issues and solutions for establishing a new approach for qualification of materials / components produced through Additive Manufacturing route.

About the Speaker Dr. Sastry Kandukuri is working as a Principal Materials Specialist in Materials Technology section in DNV GL in Oslo, Norway since July 2007. He is currently coordinating the Additive Manufacturing Technology service in DNV GL for both Maritime and Oil & Gas. He has established an AM certification road map and is currently developing internal and external standards for qualification, certification and verification of 3D printed materials and components and helping in initiating JIPs and JDPs in this area. He is also working with qualification of manufacturers of metallic materials for maritime and submarine pipeline systems, project manager for JDPs / JIPs, expert technical support for certification (CMC) and verification (VMC) of materials, lead trainer for materials technology course, developing class rules, class programs and class guidelines and offshore standards. Prior to joining DNV GL he has worked for 14 years as a shop floor manufacturing and fabrication engineer in steelmaking, rolling, foundry and forge and construction industries, and as a material scientist in R & D of new materials & processes in India, Belgium and Canada. He has received a Young Scientist / National Innovation Award from Prime Minister of India in 1999, the recipient of Belgian Government fellowship in Technical Metallurgy in 2001 and won best PhD thesis award by European Powder Metallurgy Association in 2008. He has worked as lead researcher in EU funded project on Nano materials and has obtained his PhD in Additive manufacturing/ 3D printing area from Katholic University Leuven, Belgium in 2006. Later he worked in Canada with DaimlerChrysler/University of Windsor partnership in developing a 3D printing technique using cold spray technology.
