文摘：Could 3D printing disrupt parts manufacturing for ships in the future? University of New Brunswick's Marine Additive Manufacturing Centre (MAMC) focus heavily on 3D printing and where it could be applied to find efficiencies in the shipbuilding industry. At the Centre's facility - in a Saint John metal fabrication plant - a roughly million-dollar printer efficiently turns powdered metals into replacement parts for ships. The MAMC's leadership says 3D printing could revolutionize maintenance and repairs on ships. "With these new 15 warships that Canada is going to build in the next 25 years, we know that each of these ships are going to be more advanced than the last one," says Dr. Mohsen Mohammadi, the director of the MAMC. "If we have a metal 3D printer with different types of metal powder on board the ship, when there's a damaged part they can print a replacement part. The cost savings for the Navy, in terms of sending a ship back to the shores of Newfoundland or Halifax or Vancouver, is immense." For the uninitiated, 3D printing uses digital design files to create objects by gradually adding thin layers of material. Plastic 3D printing has become fairly common, but 3D printing metal is somewhat more novel. The entire approach is often referred to as 'additive manufacturing' because you are actually building on to something, rather than the more traditional approach of carving metal parts out of the material.
