Technology & Products
Key Products
Digital inventory of 3D-printed spare parts; Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence
Technological Advantage
Not a core technology for the company; AM is applied to solve supply-chain challenges. Its advantage is operational scale and strategic partnerships rather than proprietary AM technology.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
For its own operations, AM reduces spare-part lead times and inventory costs by producing parts on demand near offshore platforms; not offered as a commercial AM service.
How They Differentiate
As an energy company, Equinor differentiates via early AM adoption and collaborative digital inventory platforms, but it does not compete in the AM equipment/service market.

Internal operations and offshore asset maintenance teams within Equinor, as well as potential external partners in the energy sector seeking on-demand spare parts
