102 Towards the unique performances by Additive Manufacturing
How do you grow a start-up team inside a large corporation with shoestring budget but a big vision for the future? In WHAM – Wärtsilä Hub for Additive manufacturing we found the answer through a mix of developing tons of 3D printed short-term solution while cooking the long-term strategic bets, constant experimentation, and engaging in extremely open co-creation.
In this talk, we will tell about our journey in Wärtsilä through tangible use cases, qualification of critical metal applications, and how have we built our deep know-how in AM by challenging the technology together with our partners.
Wärtsilä works towards 100% renewable energy future in Marine and Energy production with large 4-stroke engines as their core product.
