The BlueZone Group engineering team have kept the new Markforged carbon fibre / composite 3D printer busy at the Perth workshop. Printing continuously with Carbon Fibre, Fiberglass, and Kevlar the ability to produce printed parts with the strength of metal has turbo-charged hardware engineering development for BlueZone customers.
“A small item like a cable conductor spacer can hold up a customer cable moulding job when cables require separation for higher voltage applications,” said Mark Musarra, General Manager Perth, “With our new additive manufacturing capability we have gone from idea to application in less than an hour.”

Mark said that a key discriminator of the BlueZone Subsea Cable Moulding Service was a fast turnaround for customers with urgent requirements and demand for high-quality products and that the 3D printing capability would continue to enhance this service.
