We all know the cost and hassle required to maintain parts inventory in a warehouse. It requires resources and constant monitoring of the warehouse to maintain a smoothly run process of spare parts rotation within the organisation.
However, with Additive manufacturing, we can totally change this game, with parts on-demand and reduce the inventory cost. Also, maintain a safety stock to meet the urgent requirements.
A digital inventory can be maintained which will reduce the cost of inventory and also reduce the lead time by 3d printed spare parts. In the end, time is money.
Many organisations have identified this potential use case of additive manufacturing, which allows them to completely eliminate the costs associated with the maintenance of spare parts by having a digital inventory.
Obviously, it makes sense to have parts that are critical and expensive to be in a digital inventory and produce it for your organisational needs.
