How One 3D Printed Part Saved a Tool Manufacturer £26,000 Per Year

Case Studies, Engineering & Manufacturing, Markforged, Supply Chain /

Identifying opportunities for improvement on the production line is never a one-off exercise. As manufacturers increase their output, they are forced into a continuous cycle of improvement to keep quality high. One of the bottlenecks manufacturers face is the equipment they use itself. Whether we’re talking about milling machines, lathes,
