Additive Manufacturing (AM) is particularly appealing to the marine and offshore sectors for fast-turnaround parts replacements, complex items, and other small-production fabrication requests. While the marine sector still trails the aerospace and automotive industries in terms of additive manufacturing adoption, AM is most commonly used for custom components for yachts and sailboats. However, with metal 3D printed parts now installed on Naval aircraft carriers, the marine AM industry is developing rapidly.
