Consumer Goods

AM technologies are maturing fast and consumer goods companies are looking at the advantages of 3D printing as a way of improving the efficiency of their after sales services.

Aerospace

The aerospace industry has adopted additive manufacturing to design parts with complex geometries that couldn't be produced using traditional techniques. Moreover, these 3D-printed parts have better performance and can be produced cheaper and faster compared to traditionally manufactured parts.

Refinery and Petrochemical

The defective parts shutting down industrial machinery in this pillar industry for society create a loss of high-value business opportunity. The supply of repairing parts must imperatively be fast and reliable. Additive manufacturing is the key factor for an efficient de-risking of the machinery shortage.

Mobility

Due to the unmatched amount of parts used in Transportation, companies from this sector always have to struggle with many suppliers to manage the production of all the parts they need. Dealing with a single 3D printing service is the way to facilitate the supply of the multitude of parts, and to avoid oversized inventories.

Industrial machineries

The extreme variety of machines composing the industry (electrical motors, pumps, ...) leads to a very large amount of parts to be stored as single second of down time can impact directly the P&L of the plant.

Maritime

Because of the perpetual movement of the fleet, maintenance of spare parts on maritime transportation is very difficult to perform although it is necessary. The flexibility offered by a global 3D printing network is the key for a fast supply of replacement parts.
