Super Duplex, and why it is great for WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) Parts
Super Duplex Stainless Steel (SDSS) has become one of the most in‑demand materials for industries operating in harsh, corrosive, or high‑pressure environments. Its exceptional mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and durability make it a preferred choice for offshore structures, subsea components, chemical processing equipment, and energy infrastructure. As Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) continues to evolve, […]
How Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) Can Be Used to Repurpose Ships and Maritime Equipment
WAAM as a Key Enabler for Repurposing Ships and Maritime Equipment Repurposing ships and maritime equipment is becoming increasingly important as operators look to extend asset lifetimes, reduce waste, and adapt vessels to new operational requirements. Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) offers a practical way to modify, repair, and upgrade large metal structures without the […]
Expanding the WAAM Material Toolbox with Super Duplex Stainless Steel
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is increasingly being adopted for industrial, load-bearing applications. To further expand its material portfolio , MX3D has successfully validated super duplex stainless steel (ER2594) for WAAM, targeting demanding environments such as offshore, maritime, energy, and chemical processing. The wire used for testing was supplied by our partner NovaMetal. To confirm […]

How Can Additive Manufacturing Improve Naval Ship Repair and Maintenance?
Naval fleets operate in some of the most demanding environments in the world. Saltwater exposure, continuous mechanical loading, and long operational cycles place extreme stress on ship components. At the same time, navies face increasing pressure to keep vessels operational with shorter maintenance windows and more resilient supply chains. Additive manufacturing, and particularly Wire Arc […]
Can Additive Manufacturing Be Used for Naval Shipbuilding?
Naval shipbuilding is traditionally associated with long development cycles, complex supply chains, and highly specialized manufacturing processes. As navies modernize their fleets and respond to changing operational demands, there is growing interest in how additive manufacturing can support ship construction in a practical and certifiable way. Rather than replacing conventional shipbuilding methods, additive manufacturing, and […]
Can Metal Additive Manufacturing Improve Naval Supply Chain Resilience?
Naval fleets operate in some of the most demanding logistical environments in the world. Ships are expected to remain operational for long periods, often far from centralized supply hubs, while relying on highly specialized metal components. Delays in spare part availability can lead to extended maintenance windows, reduced fleet readiness, and increased operational costs. Metal […]
