The British 3D printing company 3D People has introduced PartsVault, a cloud-based platform that enables companies to centrally manage digital spare parts warehouses. The application addresses the challenges of modern supply chains by providing a browser-based solution for storing, managing and preparing 3D-printed parts.
“PartsVault will transform the way our customers interact with us,” says Felix Manley, Co-Founder of 3D People. “It eliminates guesswork and waste. You know what parts you need, and we make them — on demand, with precision and speed.”
PartsVault is aimed at companies that require recurring production parts or need to react flexibly to short-term requirements. The platform allows current revision levels to be stored digitally, ensuring that no obsolete parts are produced. In addition to versioning component data, the system also stores specific production parameters. This ensures consistent quality during repeated production, regardless of time or location.
“Many manufacturers overseas are looking for ways to reduce reliance on fragile international supply chains,” said Sasha Bruml, Co-Founder. “With PartsVault™, they can securely store part designs digitally and trigger local UK-based production whenever needed. No stockpiles. No customs. No delays.”
Manley concludes, “The digital inventory revolution is here, and 3D People is at the forefront. With ISO 9001 quality, a market-leading online portal, and in-house finishing services, 3D People is perfectly positioned to deliver localised, responsive manufacturing for customers worldwide.”
In the face of geopolitical uncertainties and post-pandemic disruptions in logistics, the platform offers a viable response to volatile markets. It combines digital warehousing with additive manufacturing and opens up new perspectives for lean, responsive production.
