ČEZ Uses Modern 3D Technologies including Metal 3D Printing in Nuclear and Hydroelectric Power Plants. The New Idea Saves Time and Money
ČEZ uses 3D technology models, including modern 3D printing methods, in cooperation with ŠKODA JS for both Czech nuclear power plants and in the hydropower industry. The innovative process scores points when missing equipment is no longer in production, is not available on the market or has excessively long lead times. During the first year, the deployment of 3D parts contributed to reduced downtime and increased power plant production - without affecting the safe supply of electricity. During this period, power engineers produced a total of 4,159 parts from both plastics and metal on a 3D printer. This is another step towards ensuring energy independence and at least 60 years of the operation of nuclear power plants and other parts of the critical energy infrastructure.
