DEEP Manufacturing is trying to build pressure vessels and marine habitats at scale with DED technology. Using commercial robot arms and wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), the company is hoping to make a validated, DNV-approved process that will lead to robust, certified pressure vessels at scale. If we look at subsea (a $30 billion industry) marine construction for things like wind farms, wave energy, sea floor mining, and defense, this could be a considerable business, one much larger than additive manufacturing alone. DEEP Manufacturing is a subsidiary of DEEP, which hopes to build its own habitats while DEEP Manufacturing prints them. But, DEEP Manufacturing will also print large-scale structures and pressure vessels for clients as well. This specialization gives DEEP an edge in
