Rapid, on-demand production
Manufacturing marine components quickly, repeatably and exactly when they’re needed.
Additive Manufacturing for the Maritime Industry
Overview
AMufacture has deep roots in marine additive manufacturing, working with multinational partners such as including SailGP. and Sunseeker. We combine extensive industry knowledge and integrated, industry-leading technologies, enabling fast, repeatable production of 3D-printed marine parts as and when they’re needed.
The result: less downtime, a more resilient supply chainchain, and enhanced operational continuity.
Key Benefits
Resilient marine supply chains
Reduce downtime and inventory burdens with digitally warehoused replacement parts.
Marine-ready performance
Harness corrosion-resistant, lightweight components engineered for demanding marine environments.
Traceable and scalable
Maintain compliance with end-to-end visibility, documented quality control and repeatable production.
3D printing in the maritime industry: an expert partnership
AMufacture’s expertise in the maritime sector runs deep. Co-founded by Will Howden, an Olympic sailor and qualified naval architect, we draw on far-reaching industry knowledge to build practical, collaborative partnerships across the marine supply chain.
For you, this means greater flexibility with less operational risk. With AMufacture integrated into your supply chain, you’re no longer constrained by long lead times, costly downtime and the uncertainty that comes with it.
Bespoke, lightweight, production-ready components can be manufactured on demand and delivered rapidly. Production can be scaled, repeated, and secured, thanks to our always-on manufacturing capability and Digital Warehouse infrastructure. With advanced, collaborative modelling built into our workflow, you get the right part first time, every time.
As a Tier 1 supplier, AMufacture operates a robust, ISO 9001-certified quality management system designed to meet the marine sector’s stringent requirements for part performance, inspection, traceability, aesthetics and repeatable production.
Marine additive manufacturing use cases
AMufacture’s experience with 3D printing in the maritime industry spans luxury yachts and commercial vessels, with components ranging from legacy spares to customer-facing white parts.
Custom marine interiors and yacht components
From bespoke yacht interiors to painted external components, AMufacture enables lightweight, aesthetically refined parts without tooling constraints. Our advanced finishing capabilities and white-part production systems support rapid, low-volume manufacture with exceptional consistency and surface quality.
Corrosion-resistant operational components
Marine environments demand durable, high-performance parts capable of withstanding saltwater, vibration and exposure to the elements. We produce corrosion-resistant operational components rapidly and repeatably, helping you reduce downtime and maintain long-term vessel performance.
On-demand spares and legacy part replacement
With digitally enabled, always-on manufacturing, obsolete and hard-to-source marine components can be produced exactly when you need them. Our Digital Warehouse infrastructure supports rapid repeat production, reducing inventory burdens, lead times and operational disruption across the marine supply chain.
Tooling, manifolds and production support systems
With 3D-printed marine parts, clients can harness a scalable and repeatable supply of complex, functional components, ranging from grey water manifolds to tooling fixtures. Freed from the constraints of traditional tooling, production becomes more efficient, and development cycles are accelerated.
Why make AMufacture your maritime
additive manufacturing partner?
As a long-term partner for maritime organisations worldwide, we understand the complex challenges facing this fast-moving sector. Lead times grow with part scarcity. Downtime is enormously costly and disruptive. And strict performance requirements make scalable, reliable production mission-critical.
AMufacture’s best-in-class production capabilities are founded on addressing these sector-specific challenges. With 24/7, on-demand manufacturing, end-to-end traceability, rigorous inspection and verification, and an ISO 9001-certified quality management system, we help marine clients move faster, stay compliant, and build a distributed supply chain that actively supports operational continuity.
Best-in-class Capabilities
AMufacture is the leading contract manufacturer in the additive manufacturing industry. Our partners benefit from best-in-class technologies and marine-ready materials, including the UK’s first HP MJF printer for white parts.
24/7 Uptime
When you partner with AMufacture, production becomes an on-demand, always-on resource. Order custom parts when they’re needed, or rapidly scale production with our automated build-unit changeover systems.
