As a digital manufacturing method, additive manufacturing (AM) provides the opportunity to reduce physical inventory through on-demand production of parts only when and if they are needed. But to implement this sort of “digital inventory” requires substantial setup and management commitments alongside the development of digital part files, in addition to requiring access to additive manufacturing capbility and talent. 

Würth Additive Group, part of industrial supplies distributor Würth Group, has developed a platform to enable the secure storage and management of part files for distribution as part of a digital inventory. The company’s Digital Inventory Service (DIS) consists of software and hardware tools for storing and distributing part files to 3D printers, as well as managing each part’s full production workflow and any associated paperwork. 

Würth Additive Group printed more than 5,000 DIS parts during its MVP phase, and has seen more than 8,000 DIS transactions. In this video, filmed at IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show, see a demo of the DIS Fleet management functionality as well as several of the components now being supplied through digital inventory.
