这Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore(MPA), a statutory body under the Ministry of Transport of Singapore Government, has signed two memoranda of understanding (MoU) relating the country’s application of additive manufacturing in maritime.
第一个谅解备忘录与新加坡港口管理局国际PTE Ltd(PSA), one of the largest port operators in the world, Singapore’sNational Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster（纳米），和金属添加剂专家3D MetalForge Pte Ltd。
在第二个谅解备忘录中，MPA与Namic和新加坡运输协会(SSA).
Realizing the potential of 3D printing in the maritime industry, Ong Kim Pong, PSA’s Regional CEO Southeast Asia, said, “I am heartened that PSA, alongside MPA, NAMIC and 3D MetalForge can be pioneers in developing this technology for use in our industry,”
“In close collaboration with EDB [Economic Development Board], we have learnt that the era of Additive Manufacturing is showing pervasive importance in industry transformation. Within our maritime sector, we foresee widespread adoption within the immediate horizon.”
这agreements were signed at the ongoing6th Global AM Summit held at the Changi Exposition Centre in Singapore.
海上数字化
Earlier in 2018, the MPA signed another MoU with NAMIC agreeing to以洋地黄治疗3 d印刷马努facturing in the marine sector。
MPA首席执行官Andrew Tan解释了这一趋势：“作为a leading maritime hub, Singapore firmly believes that the maritime industry should embrace new technologies such as additive manufacturing. The digitalization of the maritime sector in all its aspects is not a matter of how but when.”
Continuing progress to使新加坡成为海上3D打印备件的中心MPA的第一个带有PSA，NAMIC和3D Metalforge的谅解备忘录，将专注于在PSA最先进的终端Pasir Panjang Terminal建立新的3D打印设施。
A cutting edge 3D printing facility for Singapore maritime
MoU signatory 3D MetalForge is one of the leading AM companies in Singapore. It is responsible for opening Singapore’s first end-to-end metal 3D printing facility, the增材制造中心(AMC) and already services the marine, and oil and gas industries.
此外，该项目将完全采用数字制造框架。在这方面，PSA将开发出3D打印零件的及时清单，这将消除仓库的需求。
Pong补充说：“共同创造新的创新，包括数字化库存将创造机会将海上生产力提高到一个新的水平。”
MPA，NAMIC和SSA
这second MoU between MPA, NAMIC and the SSA is a Joint Industry Program. It is aimed at making Singapore a worldwide leader of 3D printed ship supplies. The project will fully exploit the 3D printing ecosystem set up by NAMIC to examine commercial aspects of the technology and its technical feasibility. It will also be responsible for drawing up regulatory guidelines for future use of 3D printing in the marine industry.
Since 2017, NAMIC has been in a partnership withthe Singapore-based shipbuilder,Sembcorp海军陆战队，，，，global quality assurance and risk management companydnv gl，，，，A*Star’s Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology(SIMTech). Together these entities are working to3D print large scale structures for shipping vessels。
Most recently, NAMIC partner DNV GL announced a collaborationwithSpare Parts 3Dto introduce海洋和石油和天然气行业3D打印备件的指南。
这种战略伙伴关系可能在MPA的新协议的制定中起着重要作用。
