Maintenance
3D printing
and traffic maintenance
What benefits can 3D printing bring to maintenance departments? Manufacturing companies use 3D printers to produce unusual spare parts, especially when they are no longer available, the cost of purchasing them is too high, or the waiting time for parts for machines used on the production line is too long.
Reduction of downtime
The use of additive technology by a company's maintenance services helps reduce production downtime to a minimum and is increasingly an element of a preventive maintenance strategy.
Currently, we see a trend in the world of shortening supply chains. Their stability is no longer as specific as before the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, so having your 3D printer is a remedy for losses resulting from shortages of necessary spare parts.
Flexible production
One of the main advantages of 3D printing in maintenance is that it allows for rapidly producing custom machine and equipment parts.
This way, when a company needs parts that are not available on the market or are too expensive, it can design and print the part using a 3D printer. This allows you to minimize downtime and significantly reduce repair costs.
The best printers for manufacturing companies
All companies interested in implementing 3D printers in their maintenance departments should consider the P440 or P800D printers from our industrial line.
Thanks to a closed and heated working chamber, the proprietary U-ME energy maintenance and print control system, and the ability to print from many materials, our 3D printers are an ideal partner in maintaining the daily operation of the production line.
