On demand three-dimensional printing of stainless steel parts

按需三维打印不锈钢零件。该项目旨在通过现场和按需生产，利用三维金属打印技术，彻底改变关键不锈钢部件的供应安全。澳大利亚的石油和天然气行业在生产工厂的关键加工部件上使用了数吨的不锈钢。澳大利亚也是少数几个没有足够的不锈钢生产和加工设施的发达国家之一，因此依赖于专业的海外供应商。这对该行业来说是一个重大风险，该行业库存中储存着价值数十亿美元的替换零件，包括不锈钢。该项目将减少对海外钢铁供应商的依赖，并节省数亿美元的资金投入到更换不锈钢零件的库存仓库中。

On demand three-dimensional printing of stainless steel parts. This project aims to revolutionize the security of supply of critical stainless steel parts by producing them on-site and on demand, using three dimensional metal printing. Australia’s oil and gas industry uses tonnes of stainless steel for critical processing components in production plants. Australia is also one of the few developed nations without appreciable production and processing facilities for stainless steels, so relies on specialist overseas suppliers. This is a major risk to the industry, which stores billions of dollars’ worth of replacement parts, including stainless steels, in inventory. This project should reduce reliance on overseas steel suppliers and free up hundreds of millions of dollars of capital invested in the inventory stores of replacement stainless steel parts.
