Of all the manufacturing methods available worldwide, it’s a boon to have 3d metal printing (Additive manufacturing) technology which has the ability to print any complex geometry parts easily with properties superior to conventional manufacturing processes. It is said that the properties achieved by this technology is better than casting & near to forging.
This technology prints parts layer by layer (layer thickness can be altered depending on the requirement of properties of desired part) and hence achieves a homogenous grain structure thereby resulting in higher strength of the part. As a result, the 3d printed part is denser.
The greatest benefits of this technology are it cut downs the time required drastically which is the key requirement of most OEMs R&D/ Proto departments. Conventionally time taken for manufacturing a part is say 6-7 days, while we can get the part ready by 3d metal printing in just 2-3 days max. An added advantage is the part is as good in terms of properties as conventional and any and every kind of post-processing/ post machining can be carried on this part.
To add further, currently, organizations are facing a lot of challenges with compressing product life-cycles, innovative product requirements, time-to-market pressures, cost pressures, increasing customer expectations on personalization and customization of products. All this resulting in decreasing production volumes and smaller batch sizes, which make traditional manufacturing technologies less effective and so Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) comes as a boon for companies in today’s dynamic business situations. Few of the key advantages of 3D Printing include time savings by accelerating new product introductions and time-to-production from the processes like rapid prototyping. There can also be significant cost savings by eliminating expensive tooling and fixtures needed for traditional manufacturing. All this will finally help you exceeding your customer satisfaction.

Advantages of 3D printing spare parts
3d metal printing is offering a lot of benefits for many sectors. One of the biggest advantages of additive manufacturing is mass customization, making custom-made parts using 3D modeling software. 3D printing can not only enable you to create made to measure parts, but it is also an amazing and economical manufacturing method. Mass customization is also a great advantage when the manufacturer needs to find older parts that are no longer produced. So we can obtain the design by reverse engineering project.
3D printing is also a way to avoid stocking problems. Indeed, a company can easily be bothered with an inventory. 3D printing low volumes for your production, and for the creation of spare parts is now becoming a good solution. This way, you can get 3D printed parts on demand and you don’t need to stock them! This saves your inventory cost & inventory space.
Digitalizing production is a real advantage, and you should definitely start to think about it.
Another aspect is that spare parts production can be included in home appliances production, automobile restoration, or even for tooling and any kind of machine. It can also improve the quality of your customer service.
