• Many industrial sectors require quality assurance and certification for parts to be used.

- Additive manufacturing holds the promise to allow customization of the design of parts,

to meet case specific demands.

- But certification of each individual part is a time consuming and costly operation.

- This is an entrance hurdle for many ‘standards controlled’ industries.

• In this presentation you will learn

- Framework for assessment of quality assurance

- Experience gained in a number of projects

- A model for assessing the bottom line impact (sneak preview)

• A trinity: Design – material – process

➔ For NRK:

Knowledge of material development, only valuable when combined with process and design possibilities

(and impossibilities!!)

• Production: preparation and in-process monitoring

➔ For NRK:

Work environment Health & Safety, operator skills, simulations and monitoring

• Use and Maintenance

➔ For NRK:

Real-life cases, knowledge centre, including economic benefits

3D Printing Value chain – 1. The Workflow

- 1 -


• Applications: Rules and regulations

➔ For NRK:

Support the development of guidelines and standards to increase up-take of AM as valid technology

• Application arena’s: industry sectors

➔ For NRK:

Availability of sector specific information (working groups/champions for aero, automotive, medical, dental,

tooling, oil&gas, toys, etc.) linked to the knowledge centre

3D Printing Value chain - 2. The application

- 2 -


• Testing

➔ For NRK:

International scope, R&D, ensure ‘economic’ quality assurance

• Education

➔ For NRK:

Availability of skilled operators, but also ‘3D savvy’ general managers, marketeers/sales and purchasing

• Service bureaus

➔ For NRK:

awareness andn easy access to knowledge and service infrastructure (3D Print Atlas)

Two seamlessly aligned Joint Innovation Projects:

The Guideline ProGRAM is managed by DNV GL.

• The objective of this Guideline ProGRAM is to develop

requirements necessary to introduce components made

by Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) for the Oil, Gas

and Maritime industries and related applications

• Information from the part selection and production

will be used as case studies in the project guideline.

The Toolbox part is managed by Berenschot.

• This ProGRAM is dedicated to the part and material selection,

and the assessment of the impact on the bottom line.

Economic viability, including a reference database of 100 parts

Example: JIP ProGRAM Oil & Gas

How to compare?

What to focus on?

• Many companies contemplate investments in 3D printing, but reaching a decision is hard:

• Improved functionality of products

• Extra speed in product design

• Better tooling

• Lower stock levels

• Etc.

• Each opportunity requires a specific kind of investment:

• A polymer printer, will not produce metal parts

• With printing comes adjustments in workflow and value chain

• Education of personnel.

How to assess and compare opportunities?

• Improved functionality of products

• Extra speed in product design

• Better tooling

• Lower stock levels

• Etc.

Summary: set-up and utilization of the Business impact model

• The Business impact model helps to determine the economic impact op 3D Printing

• The model can be used on 4 different levels of detail

1. Quick cost assessment to determine the unit cost price of a 3D Printed part

2. Operational cost assessment, 1. + an estimation of revenue and organizational cost impact

3. Benefit assessment 2. + a variance analysis versus traditional manufacturing of the part

4. Full Business case 3. + simulation and investment assessment

• Depending on the maturity of the

company with regards to 3D printing,

we have standardised and limited

the input required

• The Business impact model delivers

realistic data, based on the amount

of input available

• The model ensures awareness of all

aspects regarding 3D printing
