3D Printing Supply Chain Issues — No More
Providing 3d printing supply chain solutions to our customers is not uncommon. Our parts are as close as you can get to injection molded components. Made with the SLS process and nylon 12. As a result, parts can be sterilized, tapped, drilled and machined. Because of their strength and durability they can be as you would a part manufacture with traditional means.
Forbes Magazine recently featured an article as to just how 3d printing could be the solution companies are looking for.
According to an Institute for Supply Management survey near the beginning of the pandemic, 75% of companies experienced external disruptions to their manufacturing supply chain. Furthermore, lead times for China source components doubled and many companies didn’t have a solution in place. Two years later it appears it’s only becoming more challenging.
On Demand Inventory with 3D Printing
With 3d printing you can make as few or as many parts as you need. As a result, you can save money and avoid unneeded inventory. 3D Prototype Design has on many occasions built replacement, temporary and final components when customers needed something fast and functional.
These black in colour parts have been created using our in-house developed colouring process. Using SLS nylon parts, the colour adds no weight or thickness, is permanent and doesn’t wash or rub off.
We welcome the opportunity to speak with you further should you be in the position of needing a fast and functional solution to your supply chain issues or delays.
