Additive Industries says that it has supplied a MetalFAB1 system to the Marine Equipment Technology Institute (METI) at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, Zhenjiang, China.

According to the company, the MetalFAB1 system will be used to extend its production of heat exchangers for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other maritime and oil and gas applications.

‘We are grateful to welcome METI as a leading partner in marine technology,’ said Mike Goh, general manager of Additive Industries Asia Pacific. ‘Not only are they a frontrunner in marine applications but also a visionary in additive manufacturing by being the first in China to own a MetalFAB1 system. The system will be used also for research but mainly to transfer their innovative heat exchanger technology to series production.’
