The aim of this product is to improve the reliability and availability of ships through the possibility of printing spare or provisional parts on board by the crew, without the need for external support. As a designer and integrator, Navantia has extensive industrial expertise and a supply chain that allows it to have a digital catalogue of spare and temporary parts that are of interest to the crew. Navantia has experience in on-board printing and can offer printing with different types of technology, depending on the needs of the crew.

Improve the reliability and availability of the navy's ships by incorporating 3D printing capabilities into its fleet. This allows coordinating the management of the spare parts catalogue, as well as the printing process itself, whether at sea, in port, or in the Arsenal, different types of spare parts and of different sizes, independently, and always with the technical support of Navantia's experts in 3D Printing or Life Cycle Support. As the technical design authority, Navantia has the technical knowledge and the network of official equipment suppliers to identify and catalogue the 3D printing parts to be included in the catalogue, always according to the needs and priorities of the navy. This product can also be integrated with the rest of the ship's systems, providing more information on the conditions in which the part has been printed.

Navantia revolutionises shipbuilding with 3D printing using advanced materials, improving production and creating spare parts and parts for its ships.

Navantia improves the reliability and availability of ships with 3D printing on board, enabling the creation of spare parts. With a digital catalogue and advanced technology, Navantia offers customised solutions for the crew, integrated with the ship's systems.

Increased availability

3D printing enables fast and efficient manufacturing of parts and components, which significantly reduces lead times for critical parts and components. This translates into increased operational availability of the vessel, as repairs and maintenance can be carried out in a more streamlined manner and without relying on external suppliers. In addition, the ability to produce customised parts where and when they are needed ensures that the vessel is always ready to fulfil its missions.

Cost reduction

By reducing the need to maintain traditional stocks, 3D printing reduces costs and procurement needs.

Increased security (ship and crew)

The ability to print customised, high quality parts enhances the safety of the vessel and crew, ensuring that critical components are always available.

Navantia boosts operational efficiency with 3D printing on SMART ships, optimising component manufacture and reducing costs

Navantia's 3D printing tool enables the rapid manufacture of metal parts and other materials, optimising production and reducing costs. This technology offers the possibility of customising parts according to specific needs, creating complex geometries that would be difficult to achieve with traditional methods.

In addition, 3D printing reduces dependence on external suppliers and minimises material waste. The implementation of this tool in Navantia improves the quality and speed of production, providing an advanced solution for the manufacture of naval components.
