  The Development Effort Advances Lincoln Electric’s Large-Scale 3D Metal Printing Manufacturing Process for BPMI’s Mission Critical Applications

  CLEVELAND (February 15, 2024) – Lincoln Electric is pleased to announce that its industry-leading proprietary, large-scale 3D metal printing solution has been selected by Bechtel Plant Machinery, Inc. (“BPMI”) for development to support the U.S. Navy. As part of the development program, Lincoln Electric will be 3D printing large-scale propulsion components measuring almost 10 feet in diameter and weighing up to 20,000 pounds.

  “We are proud to continue expanding our network of strategic program partners to the U.S. Navy,” commented Barbara Staniscia, BPMI’s President and General Manager. “Metal additive manufacturing is pivotal to driving innovation and supply chain resiliency, enabling the program to deliver advanced capabilities to the U.S. Navy.”

  “We are pleased to be a strategic partner to BPMI and support the U.S. Navy’s goal to accelerate shipbuilding,” stated Mark Douglass, Ph.D., Business Development Manager, Lincoln Electric Additive Solutions. “We believe our advanced manufacturing process, supported by inhouse wire feedstock production and industry-leading application, automation and metallurgical expertise can add significant value in meeting the U.S. Navy’s goals.”

  Lincoln Electric operates the world’s largest wire-based 3D metal printing platform in Cleveland, Ohio and is fully vertically integrated with high-volume wire manufacturing across a range of alloys, 3D robotic cell integration and proprietary SculptPrint™ OS software. The state-of-the-art additive manufacturing solution rapidly 3D prints large-scale, metal-based parts directly from CAD files up to 8 times faster than traditional casting or forging methods.

• Lincoln Electric and its Partners Win TCT Award for Innovative 3D Metal Printing Solution (Apr 12, 2024)

  Lincoln Electric, Chevron and Stress Engineering Services win Industrial Product Application category in 2023 TCT Awards

  Lincoln Electric and its partners Chevron and Stress Engineering Services have received the prestigious TCT Award for 2023 in the Industrial Product Application category for 3D metal printing refinery pressure components. The TCT Awards celebrate advances in technology, innovation and collaboration in the global 3D printing and additive manufacturing industry. The entries are judged by an independent panel of industry experts from across the globe using a rigorous judging process.

  Lincoln Electric Additive Solutions, Chevron and Stress Engineering Services collaborated to qualify and manufacture pressure components that were installed in a hydrogen furnace at a Chevron refinery. The components weighed on average over 225 kg (500 lbs) and were printed with nickel wire using gas metal arc additive manufacturing. In less than a month, the team delivered production parts totaling over 2,250 kg (5,000 lbs) of deposited wire. The application not only showcased the speed at which parts can be delivered using Lincoln Electric’s proprietary 3D metal printing technology, but also how close collaboration in design can improve product performance and ease of installation.

  “We are honored to receive this award that showcases our game-changing ability to solve problems for the industry by reducing lead times from months to weeks,” said Mark Douglass, Business Development Manager, Lincoln Electric Additive Solutions. “Our vertical integration and industry-leading capabilities allowed us to meet Chevron’s challenging timeline, demonstrating the value of large-scale 3D metal printing. We applaud TCT for its work to increase awareness and adoption of 3D printing worldwide.”

  Lincoln Electric’s additive manufacturing solution has applications across a wide range of end markets including energy, industrial manufacturing, aerospace, transportation, heavy equipment and more. The company operates the largest known wire metal 3D printing factory in the world and is capable of printing metal-based parts over 8 ft. (2.4 m) in length and weighing in excess of 8,000 lbs. (3,630 kg). The company’s proprietary and patented metal 3D printing solution uses its own SculptPrint™ OS software, robotic cells and welding wire to control quality and ensure a reliable supply chain.
