Case Study-4: Propeller
The benefits offered by WAAM, such as sustainability, fast production, high strength, and material variety, are transforming propeller production in the maritime sector by increasing speed. Compared to the time-consuming processes of traditional production methods, propeller production with WAAM is significantly faster and more efficient, providing significant advantages to the industry.
By adopting an environmentally friendly approach that minimizes material waste, WAAM leads the industry in sustainable production. Additionally, propellers manufactured using strong materials offer durability in challenging marine conditions. The ability to use different materials also allows for customized solutions for various types of vessels.
This propeller has a diameter of 380mm and a height of 80mm. It is wrapped around a slim pipe with a diameter of 60mm, and the blades have a thickness of 4mm. The weight of the printed part is 3.8kg. The printing time is 11h 57m. It is printed using 316LSi stainless steel. In the maritime industry, propellers made of Aluminum Nickel Bronze Alloy can also be printed.
Advantages:
– The BTF ratio is 2
– Lead Time is reduced by 92%
– Production costs are reduced by 89%
