Why Does Railway Need On-Demand Manufacturing?
For decades, the railway transportation industry has relied on suppliers to provide maintenance spare parts to keep trains in operation.
However, as time goes on, and suppliers go out of business, there's a vacuum, resulting in manufacturing delays for maintenance spare parts needed to service in-use legacy equipment.
On-demand manufacturing helps to address these issues by:
- Remanufacturing obsolete parts faster without costly casting and tooling methods.
- Minimizing stock inventory to reduce warehousing costs.
- Printing parts when and where they're needed to reduce service downtime.
