Our Additive Manufacturing service commonly known as 3D printing, revolutionises the production process by depositing materials layer by layer to craft intricate 3D objects with precision and efficiency. We have experience with subcontractors for metal additive parts which we have designed fixturing for, programmed and machined to customers’ requirements. We also have been part of a metal additive R&D catapult program since 2019.

SPE is at the forefront of embracing the limitless possibilities that additive manufacturing offers the SME engineering community. Experience unparalleled innovation, quality, and customisation as we propel your projects into a new era of manufacturing excellence. Our processes significantly reduce the weight, cost of transport and time of manufacture compared to traditional methods. 

Our additive manufacturing cell now consist of a Fortus 900 mc filament printer (900mm x 900mm x 600mm print size) for accurate 3D prints and 2 x WASP 3MT HDP large scale pellet printers (1000mmØ x 1000mm high print size) for more cost-effective large-scale prints. We are also able to design parts based on your requirements and tailor them for printing using the very latest 3D modelling software.

WHA Subsea Installation Cover

SPE were approached by our customer to help design an installation cover to protect delicate electrical equipment during installation. The team needed to design something big enough to fit around the equipment therefore manufacturing the structure in different segments due to the sheer size and for ease of installation. Printed on our WASP 3MT HDP machines, the cover is printed from 10 segments that fix together in sequence and is 1600mm diameter and 1800mm tall.
