Abstract
Future trends in maritime technology include the application of additive technology in spare parts management. Nowadays, 3D printing has become an integral technology in many fields. Maritime industry is one of the fields where 3D printing has become a focus of research. To prepare Electro-technical Officers (ETOs) for the future, it is necessary to investigate parameters which help with deciding whether to use additive technology or to order a spare part. This paper aims to research parameters influencing spare parts printing as a job carried out by ETOs aboard ships. Conclusions about the filament density and quality of the printed parts are derived and presented. Suggestions for future work and possible applications are given.

Summary
At the beginning of the 21st century, huge technological advance involving new materials, new chips, smaller processor dimensions, and new mechatronics have occurred These changes included new educational techniques [1], which have been taken very seriously in militaries [2]. Such advances are the main reason for the development of 3D printing technology and its uses in maritime applications. Some or all changeable parts could be printed and assembled instead of being stockpiled at a warehouse, since the spare parts occupy valuable space that could be used for other purposes This technology is considered to be an important part of the future due to its role facilitating green ships [5]. This article contains a Weibull analysis of failure and reliability, which is important in maintenance applications and for considering the life cycle
