According to The Market for Additive Manufacturing in the Oil and Gas Sector 2018–2029 by SmarTech Analysis, applications for oil and gas could represent a $2 billion opportunity for the AM sector by the end of this decade.
While few question the potential of AM to extend asset life in this industry, the real debate lies in its certification, automation, and scalability—particularly through digital inventory solutions.
After all, if producing a single 3D-printed part is already considered a celebration, shouldn’t the ultimate milestone be its repeatable, certified production at scale?
The next Additive Talks session will explore these pressing questions—drawing on real-world insights and challenges from leading energy companies and experts in qualification and certification.
Around this panel, you will find:
