Solidator 3D Printer - Application - Digital Spare Parts Warehouse
The way companies manage and provide spare parts has fundamentally changed in recent years, and 3D printing plays a crucial role in this. In the digital spare parts warehouse, also known as the "on-demand" spare parts warehouse, 3D printing enables the decentralised production of spare parts, the reduction of inventory costs and the flexibility to react quickly to model changes. In this paper we will take a closer look at these exciting developments and applications in the field of 3D printing in the digital spare parts warehouse.
The challenge of spare parts supply
Traditionally, spare parts were kept in stock in large quantities to ensure quick availability. However, this resulted in high inventory costs, space requirements and wasted materials. In addition, companies were often forced to keep large quantities of spare parts on hand, even when demand fluctuated or models changed.
3D printing and the digital spare parts warehouse
With the advent of 3D printing, companies can produce spare parts on demand and in a decentralised manner. Here are some of the key benefits:
Reduced storage costs
Companies can minimise or even eliminate the expensive storage of spare parts. This means less capital tied up and lower operating costs.
Space saving
Storage space that used to be needed for storing spare parts can be used for other purposes, which increases efficiency.
Fast reaction to model changes
With 3D printing, companies can react flexibly to model changes. New spare parts can be produced and made available in the shortest possible time.
Reduced downtimes
Since spare parts can be manufactured on site, companies no longer have to rely on slow supply chains and delivery times. This significantly minimises downtime.
Less waste of material
Spare parts are only produced when they are needed, which minimises material waste.
Solution
Use our Digital Spare Parts Warehouse solution and benefit from the following Solidator advantages:
Production on demand
3D printing enables the production of spare parts on demand. These are only produced when they are needed, which minimises the capital commitment.
No tools required
3D printing does not require expensive tools or moulds. Spare parts can be created directly from digital models, which reduces production costs.
No minimum lot size
Unlike conventional manufacturing methods, there is no minimum lot size with 3D printing. Even individual parts can be produced economically.
Material and technology selection
Solidator's experts are available to advise you on the selection of suitable materials and technologies.
Order processing and shipping
Order processing and dispatch of 3D printing orders are carried out efficiently and promptly to provide customers with high quality and customised products.
