Do you need to make spare parts? Regardless of whether you are an established company that has been actively producing its products for many years, or whether it is a new project, think carefully about whether it makes sense for you to produce spare parts in large series. You will, however, have a stock of spare parts readily available should you ever need them again. On the other hand, they take up storage space and mean a considerable investment and tied up funds.
Instead of mass production, use modern trends of the 21st century, i.e. 3D printing and production on demand. Manufacturing spare parts using this method will save you up to 60% of costs. You will save money and at the same time build a brand on the market as a modern and progressive company that cares about the environment.
Beware of copyright protection
A good 3D printing reengineering provider pays close attention to copyright protection. If the provider does not understand copyright protection or even purposefully ignores it, it can get you into trouble with the lawyers.
This is an important priority for us, which is why we only print for our customers parts that are no longer manufactured or available from us without modification.
The reengineering process
At the beginning there is a component that you need to craft. Ideally, you have a 3D model in a file on your computer, based on which the part can be immediately printed on a 3D printer.
However, it often happens that no electronic 3D model exists and it is necessary to create it first. In such a case, you should provide your reengineering supplier with all available materials and technical documentation related to the component.
If even these are not available, it is possible to create a 3D model based on an already existing part, which is carefully scanned.
As soon as there is an accurate 3D model of the part, it is possible to start production. However, 3D printing alone is not enough to produce a perfect part. Each print also needs to be carefully surface treated.
We will be happy to help you with the entire reengineering process. Contact us and come to our showroom for inspiration, where you can see the results of our work with your own eyes. You can touch everything and see what technologies we use for our clients in addition to 3D printing.
Libraries of 3D models of spare parts
Sometimes it is very difficult to find a 3D model of the spare part you need. And if there is no official technical documentation and at the same time you don't even have the given part physically available, the situation can look hopeless.
But don't worry, you still have the chance to check out the online libraries of 3D printing reengineering providers:
As you can see, these libraries offer a plethora of different parts and components. At the same time, some foreign companies will offer to manufacture the parts for you. But be careful here. Not only is a foreign supplier often significantly more expensive, but the order is more complicated, they do not always accommodate you, and you do not have the opportunity to influence all factors of production.
If you really care about the high quality of spare parts, we recommend using the services of a proven Czech partner. Unlike foreign providers, it will be closer to you and you will have a better overview of what and how it is produced. With a Czech professional supplier of 3D reengineering, you will get all the advantages of production on demand and at the same time you will have the opportunity to discuss everything in detail with him and have fun with him about the necessary physical properties of the product, such as strength, flexibility, heat resistance and more.
We will be happy to discuss everything with you in our showroom, contact us. We can also solve everything remotely to your satisfaction.
