CHALLENGE To demonstrate the capability of SPEE3D technology to produce metal parts on demand for the Royal Australian Navy. These parts also need to meet military specifications however the process of 3D printing parts is fundamentally different than conventional manufacturing. Conventional methods already have established pathways for achieving these certifications. The challange was to establish a pathway for 3D printed parts to also achieve the certification. This was a collaborative project with Charles Darwin University (CDU). SOLUTION The solution was to print an aluminium camlock hose fitting that was designed as per the relevant military specifications and have this part validated through functional testing.
