DUBLIN, Feb. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Manager's Guide to Additive Manufacturing in the Oil and Gas Sector" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

After a few years of evaluating and studying additive manufacturing applications, the oil and gas industry is now readying for full industrialization and implementation. After a challenging period due to dropping prices, the oil and gas sector is now ready to invest again. Additive manufacturing can provide some of the best value propositions for part production in the upstream, midstream and downstream segments, as well as energy generation.

Learning from experiences in rapid prototyping and tooling within other industries, such as the aerospace, automotive and medical sectors, many oil and gas operators and suppliers are now looking to use additive manufacturing in order to gain a key competitive edge in the production of advanced and complex final parts. The key next phase is going to be the development of clear guidelines and standards - and identify the ideal technologies and materials - for the full industrialization of additive manufacturing into the oil and gas manufacturing workflow.

Due to its great engineering challenges, its massive global scale and part size requirements, the oil and gas industry are slated to become the next great additive manufacturing adoption segment over the next decade.

This Manager's Guide Will Include:

The guidelines for process part requirements for additively manufactured oil and gas parts
An overview of the hardware technologies that are ideally suited for oil and gas part production.
