3D Printers for Production Line Maintenance (MRO)
This allows for the rapid production of spare parts, tools, accessories, and machine modifications, reducing downtime and increasing production efficiency. Below are some example applications.
On-Demand Spare Part Production
When a machine breaks down or a component is damaged, traditional part production can take several days. With on-site 3D printing, it’s possible to immediately produce replacement parts—such as gaskets, valves, brackets, gears—using durable materials like carbon-reinforced nylon, carbon composites, or anti-vibration polymers.
Production of Maintenance Tools
The P800 printer enables the creation of custom maintenance tools—including holders, wrenches, spacers, or covers—tailored to the specific requirements of a machine or production process. This allows maintenance to be carried out more quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively.
Reduction of Spare Part Inventory
Because parts can be printed at any time, it’s possible to reduce spare part stock levels in warehouses—lowering storage and logistics costs. In emergency situations, a 3D printer enables instant access to the needed part.
Rapid Prototyping and Solution Testing
If there’s a need to change a machine design or production process, a 3D printer can quickly produce prototypes of new solutions. This allows for functional testing before implementing changes on a larger scale, ensuring the modifications are effective and safe.
