CONFERENCE FOCUS
Additive Manufacturing (AM) impacts Spare Parts Markets.
The sessions provide key points for understanding how AM (industrial 3D Printing) could transform the provision of spare parts for most vertical manufacturing industries. The technology could expand design freedom, reduce time to market, bring production closer to demand, and improve industrial sustainability.  In addition to allowing for the creation of bespoke parts and new product design, AM also enables industries to develop virtual stock and new production processes, therefore impacting supply chain management and carbon footprint targets in a potentially extremely significant way.

DSP World Europe 2023 brings together the experts of the additive manufacturing value chain in addition to innovative and influential leaders from important vertical industries. This is where providers of digital technologies showcase spare parts innovations that deliver competitive advantages for most manufacturing industries. At the same time you’ll learn from innovators and early adopters in those vertical industries how resources are spent wisely on new (spare) parts strategies.

“SELLING IP RIGHTS OF PHYSICAL SPARE PARTS AS A NEW AM BUSINESS MODEL”

Moderator: Tjibbe Veenstra
Chairman
SDAM Alliance & Making AM Greener

In case OEMS are approaching AM as an alternative source of spare parts, they could substitute the delivery of physical spare parts by selling IP Rights to use a 3D print file of the spare part.
Depending on IP Rights arrangements, two alternative models of how spare parts can be provided in the future are:
(1) the customer will procure spare parts from nearby 3D-printing service providers that have OEM printing rights and will deliver over short distances.
(2) the customer invests in its own AM capacities, obtains OEM printing rights and prints the parts in its own facilities. Another model is that the OEM retains IP Rights, but the OEM implements 3D-printer capacities at customer sites and prints the parts based on customer demand.
This kind of outsourcing should be subject to security standards without compromising either copyright, design, patent or trademark.

Instead, future manufacturing, enabled by smart technologies like 3D printing, will take place at multiple digital production sites, distributed around the world, closer to customers. But this will only be possible when companies are sure that their design and production data remains secure. We do need solutions that allow industrial manufacturers to secure the flow of digital parts and maintain a competitive advantage. Data security and integrity are imperative for them in their transition from a centralized production model to multiple digital production sites closer to their customers.
