Additive manufacturing for the GCC

Industrial 3D Printing

When legacy equipment is down or a new aerospace design needs rapid validation, PartsMake helps turn engineering intent into functional parts. Metal and high-performance polymer 3D printing support urgent oil and gas maintenance, advanced aerospace and UAV development, and a more responsive digital spare-parts strategy across the Middle East.

From urgent replacement components to lightweight, application-led prototypes.

At a glance

400 × 400 × 450 mm

Maximum metal PBF-LB build platform for complex components and consolidated assemblies.

20–60 μm

Metal powder-bed layer thickness, selected to suit the component and build requirements.

Up to 220°C

Heated-chamber capability for industrial high-temperature FDM polymer printing.

Manufacturing capability

Print for the part’s job, not just its shape

Select metal or polymer processes around operating conditions, geometry, performance needs and production intent. Additive manufacturing can reduce tooling dependency and enable designs that are difficult to produce conventionally.

  • Typical accuracy: ±0.15 mm

Built around regional requirements

Two urgent challenges. One flexible production route.

PartsMake supports customers dealing with hard-to-source legacy equipment and teams pushing the limits of aerospace and UAV design. We help assess whether printing is suitable, then align the build route with the component’s intended use.

Oil & gas maintenance

Respond to obsolete parts and urgent repairs

For equipment at risk of extended downtime, additive manufacturing can help produce a replacement or trial component when conventional tooling or OEM supply is not practical. Where original drawings are unavailable, a surviving sample or available measurements can inform a geometry-reconstruction and engineering review before manufacture.

  • Legacy spares and replacement components
  • Metal parts in Inconel, titanium or stainless steel
  • Geometry assessment for parts without drawings
  • Digital files to support future spare-part planning

Aerospace & UAV development

Move from design iteration to a functional part

For Saudi aerospace and UAV programmes, metal printing enables lightweight topology-optimised structures and geometries that can include conformal internal channels. PEEK and ULTEM printing offers a rapid route to assess fit, form and function in demanding design environments.

  • Lightweight structural brackets and joints
  • Complex internal cooling passages
  • PEEK and ULTEM prototype validation
  • Design iteration without hard tooling

Beyond the build

Make urgent parts easier to plan for

A qualified digital spare-parts approach can help reduce dependence on storing every low-volume component physically. Maintain approved part data, review manufacturing readiness and produce parts when the need arises—subject to engineering, material and application requirements.

Review a part for printing

01 / Assess

Check suitability

Review the design, expected operating conditions, material needs and inspection expectations.

02 / Engineer

Prepare the build

Consider orientation, supports, geometry and post-processing requirements for the chosen process.

03 / Produce

Print and verify

Manufacture to the agreed specification, with inspection and documentation aligned to the project.
