Spare parts - 3D printing benefits

Benefits of 3D printing in relation to spare parts.

For one of Royal Roos' maritime clients with vessels regularly calling at our quay side using shore power, Royal3D fabricated a bush to secure the anchor chain, using 3D printing technology to first test the thread used. Making sure all fits nicely and reducing overall cost by 60%!

The main benefits for our client in this process:

- Within one day a 3D printed spare of a bush that fits, temporarily helping them out during the re-order process of a new steel bush

- A drawing of a "bush that fits" to re-order

- A new steel bush and recycling of the 3D printed temporary one

Fast and cost-efficient.
