Norway, March 25 -- DNV has announced a new recommended practice, DNV-RP-B205 Digital inventories and on-demand manufacturing, set to transform parts management in the energy sector. This framework helps the sector assess the maturity of a digital part, from initial design or data capture to qualification and production. The process includes 3D scanning, capturing design data, generating engineering documentation, and preparing order-ready parts through on-demand manufacturing. By leveraging digital inventories and near-net-shape on-demand manufacturing technologies, DNV aims to cut costs and improve efficiency. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a key part of this strategy, as it produces components close to their final specifications. This ap...
