DEEP Manufacturing Ltd, the large-scale additive manufacturing specialist launched earlier this year, has been granted full Approval of Manufacture (AoM) from classification society DNV, making it one of only a handful of manufacturers worldwide – and the only one in Europe – to fully meet DNV’s standard for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM).
This milestone builds on DEEP Manufacturing’s earlier Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV Maritime and represents a critical step in validating WAAM as a safe, reliable, and commercially viable process for mission-critical applications. The Approval covers the use of WAAM for the production of pressure vessels, pressure vessels for human occupancy, and hull structures and equipment, underscoring DEEP Manufacturing’s ability to meet the most rigorous international standards.
DNV’s AoM programme is designed to verify a manufacturer’s ability to consistently produce materials and products to given specifications and in accordance with rule requirements.
By demonstrating that Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing can meet the most stringent international safety and quality benchmarks, DEEP Manufacturing is helping accelerate the shift toward more flexible, cost-efficient, and sustainable production methods. The certification gives operators across offshore, maritime, and subsea sectors the confidence to deploy large-scale WAAM components in mission-critical environments where reliability is paramount.
