Is the 3D printer a better spare parts warehouse?

Situations like the Suez Canal or the global pandemic show how vulnerable global supply chains really are.

The supply chains we have built as a global economy have been optimized, and when you optimize, that is inherently fragile.

Companies that rely on additive manufacturing in their production processes can keep their machines running.

Not a stopgap solution, but a real manufacturing addition!

Our customers can produce machine spare parts on-demand overnight, thus reducing downtime.

Of course, you need the right 3D printer for the right application.

Our customer, BMF GmbH, supplies a Markforged 3D printer upon request when delivering a small shot blasting system!

At Markforged, we focus on high-end parts that pack a punch. Components you previously needed to machine but didn't want to.

✅ No storage costs
✅ No lead times
✅ A digital warehouse
✅ Available worldwide
✅ Lighter and design freedom
✅ On-demand spare parts production overnight
✅ Strengthening the domestic business location
✅ Securing jobs
✅ Smaller ecological footprint

We have conducted a study on the use of additive manufacturing during the pandemic.
