Marine-i is helping 3D printing company J-Supplied to develop large scale technology to produce bespoke parts for the floating offshore wind industry, such as custom-designed turbine blades.
Marine-i, is providing a package of RD&I support which includes market analysis by Marine-i partner, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, highlighting the most important commercial opportunities for the technology in floating offshore wind, and bespoke research by the University of Plymouth Digital Fabrication Laboratory, to develop processes to optimise this new technology. On 10th February, a special online workshop will be taking place, examining how 3D printing may be used in the production of wind turbine blades.
