Summary
A prototype leak repair clamp. Clamps like these are used in the Chemical, Oil & Gas industries to prevent incidents and to increase the run time of an installation before permanent remedial work or replacement is carried out. This is an interesting example of an AM part only being machined to improve the surface finish in the areas required, with other surfaces retaining their raw finish.

★★☆
Can depend on fossil fuels and high energy use, but allows unconsumed material to be directly reused for printing without reprocessing, significantly reducing manufacturing waste. This rating relates to the technology type only. The design, purpose and longevity of the entire object can offset any of the technology type's negative sustainability credentials.
