Digital spare parts

Digital spare parts are particularly interesting for 3D-printing. Materflow participated in a study  done by VTT and Aalto university and it was clear that this is  one of the best areas where such system can be taken benefit of. According to the research companies can reduce warehousing and other costs by manufacturing spare parts digitally.

Digital spare parts (DIVA) was a strategic study done by Aalto university and VTT where the focus was to study the benefits of digitally storing and manufacturing spare parts. The parts can be printed on demand and often close to the end user.

In DIVA the study found out that now and in the future there is a huge unused potential in spare part manufacturing. The study focused on categorizing different types of spare parts and their manufacturing models. Comparisons were done against traditional technologies. One of the result of the study was that a large portion of spare parts could be done with additive. Warehousing costs, updated digital libraries and new types of manufacturing logistics are all on the table. The impact of implementing the research findings in your organisation can help you better serve your customers and save money. Serial production with 3D-Printing is already happening so start now and take the lead!
