Dynamic 3D edge

Aberdeen-based Dynamic Equipment Company (DEC) has announced contract wins with BP and Transocean following use of its latest 3D-modelling technology. 

DEC specialises in providing the energy industry with bespoke solutions to mechanical handling difficulties. The company uses a 3D-modelling printer in order to allow clients to visualise how these solutions will work for them. 

3D modelling is also a cost-effective way of producing a sample piece without the expense of fabricating parts in the final form. As the only firm in Scotland to own the ZPrinter 450, DEC has a competitive edge over similar engineering firms.  

Richard Hay, managing director of DEC, said: ‘The investment in the 3D-modelling printer has made a huge difference to our business. It makes it possible for us to show clients a replica, or the actual size and shape of specific solutions that we recommend for their business in the form of a hard plastic resin model.

‘As we specialise in bespoke one-off projects for our clients, it is necessary for us to be able to communicate our recommendation in a clear and concise manner. 3D modelling has helped us with this process. Clients with complicated projects can instantly see how we can solve their problem.’
