世界首个船级社认证的3D打印船用螺旋桨面世-AAU资讯

摘要
在通过法国船级社认证的严格流程后，世界首个认证的3D打印船用螺旋桨WAAMpeller已经在达门集团的荷兰总部成功面世。这一突破性的成功是RAMLAB，Promarin远航技术，Autodesk公司以及法国船级社，达门集团之间密切合作的结果。
五个公司作为合作伙伴陈粒 祝星 ，于七个月前汇集他们的集体资源和知识，一起开发世界上第一个3D打印船用螺旋桨引茶网 。Promarin提供三叶螺旋桨设计密山天气预报 ，RAMLAB实验室使用线弧增材制造(WAAM)技术制模，而Autodesk进行软件，机器人技术和增材制造方面的支持。
达门提供研究和开发资源毛腿丝袜 ，并且使用达门1606型斯坦拖轮做测试。而法国船级社则验证整个开发、生产和测试过程。
Following a rigorous testing process, verified by Bureau Veritas中场狂徒 , the world’s first Class approved 3D printed ship’s propeller,the WAAMpeller, has been unveiled at Damen Shipyard Group’s headquarters in the Netherlands. This ground-breaking success is the result of a close collaboration between RAMLAB, Promarin, Autodesk, Bureau Veritas and Damen.

The five-company partnership started pooling their collective resources and knowledge to develop the world’s first 3D printed ship’s propeller seven months ago. Promarin provided the design of the triple-blade propeller. The Port of Rotterdam’s RAMLAB (Rotterdam Additive Manufacturing LAB) carried out fabrication using Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) techniques, supported by Autodesk’s expertise in software, robotics and additive manufacturing.
Damen provided Research and Development resources in addition to one of its Stan Tug 1606 vessels for operational testing purposes. Bureau Veritas’role was to verify the entire development邓伟杰 , production and testing process.

298 layers of 3D printing
The consortium reached its first milestone in August with the completion of the first WAAMpeller prototype. With valuable experience gained, production of the second version魔幻星际 , with the aim of achieving class certification, started immediately.
“Production of the second WAAMpeller was greatly improved because we had learned a lot from producing the prototype曾小金 ,” says Vincent Wegener喻虹渊 , Managing Director RAMLAB. “This mainly concerned the hardware/software interaction because, when laying down 298 layers of Nickel Aluminium Bronze alloy, it is important to have a tight control on all process parameters.”
Testing in Dordrecht
With the second WAAMpeller complete, the project then progressed to the testing stage, the first phase of which saw the WAAMpeller installed on a Damen Stan Tug 1606. “This particular vessel is of extra interest in that it is equipped with a Tier III compliant engine, making it future proof for the ever stricter environmental rules and regulations in harbours around the world”, comments Martin de Bruijn, Managing Director Workboats at Damen.
Damen’s testing engineers performed operational testing of the WAAMpeller on 20 November, with representatives from all of the consortium partners present. Furthermore, the day’s procedures were overseen by Bureau Veritas surveyors throughout.
Martijn Nieuwenhuijs, Chief Executive of Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore Netherlands comments: “Bureaus Veritas has witnessed every step of the making and testing of the WAAMpeller. Some challenges needed to be tackled along theway, but the final product is technically sound and ready for commercial application.”
Heavy loads
The testing programme included bollard pull and crash stop testing in addition to speed trials. “Of course, we were all a bit nervous beforehand –after all, innovation always comes with a certain amount of unknowns – but the testing was a success,” says Kees Custers西部大镖客 , Damen Project Engineer R&D enthusiastically.
“We are pleased to report that the WAAMpeller displayed the same behaviour as a conventional casted propeller in all of the tests. This includes the same level of performance in the crash stop scenario, which – going from full throttle ahead to full throttle reverse – is the heaviest loading that apropeller can experience.
“From day one, this project has been characterised by a good working atmosphere and team dynamics, so there were quite a few high-fives on board when we had successfully completed the tests!”
Future thinking
Talking before the WAAMpeller unveiling event, which took place on 30 November, Allard Castelein, CEO Port of Rotterdam took the time to highlight the efforts of the collaborating partners: “The WAAMpeller project is special for many reasons. Not only has it produced the world’s first class approved 3D printed ship’s propeller我的第三帝国, but this has been accomplished within a very impressive seven-month timeframe and only one year after the official openingof RAMLAB.”
“Everyone involved has worked extremely hard to make this happen. Damen空袭德累斯顿 , Autodesk and Bureau Veritas have supported the project all the way. Promarin have really shown their expertise with the finishing of this WAAMpeller. And last释德朝 , but not least, the production process at RAMLAB continued 24/7, with their experts permanently on hand.”
Looking at the bigger picture, Mr Castelein went on to identify the implications of the WAAMpeller project on the maritime industry. “This project has shown the shipbuilding industry the potential of 3D printing techniques for the production of vessel components. We continue our intensive research into this very exciting area.”
