The Problem
Spare Parts Are Expensive to Hold
Traditional spare-parts inventory ties up capital, warehouse space and time — and the part you need most is often the one that's obsolete, discontinued, or has a 12-week lead time from overseas.
- Capital and shelf space tied up in parts that may never move.
- Long lead times and minimum orders on low-volume spares.
- Obsolete or discontinued parts with no supplier left.
- Legacy components with no drawings or CAD on file.
How It Works
From Your Shelf to a Digital Inventory
A straightforward path from physical stock to on-demand production — we come to you, do the engineering, and manage the parts ongoing.
-
01 — Assess
Facility Assessment
Carbon-fibre and composite construction matches the stiffness and load capacity of the machined metal original — no compromise on performance.
-
02 — Convert
Engineer for Additive
Our engineers redesign the shortlisted parts for additive (DfAM) — including reverse-engineering and 3D scanning legacy parts with no existing drawings — and qualify the right material and process.
-
03 — Supply
Print On Demand
Qualified parts are held in your digital inventory and printed only when you need them — no warehousing, no minimum order — then finished, inspected and delivered ready to fit.
Built to Manage It
Backed by Our Own ERP System
Managing thousands of parts across many customers isn't something you can do on spreadsheets. We run an ERP system built and maintained in-house by our own IT team — evolved continuously to suit how we operate, with new features added the moment they're needed.
That means your parts are tracked, version-controlled and reproducible — reliably, at scale, and under strict confidentiality.
What that gives you
-
Thousands of parts, managed
Proven capacity handling large, active parts catalogues.
-
Built and owned in-house
Our IT team develops it — not an off-the-shelf system we're locked into.
-
Adapts to your operation
New features and workflows added on demand as your needs change.
-
Traceable & reproducible
Every part version-controlled and reprintable, exactly as before.
-
Strictly confidential
All parts and data held under NDA — standard for the clients we serve.
Why It Works
Inventory Without the Overheads
Free Up Capital
Stop tying up cash and warehouse space in parts that sit on a shelf. Print them only when they're needed.
Kill Lead Times
On-demand production replaces long overseas lead times and minimum-order quantities on low-volume spares.
Revive Obsolete Parts
Discontinued or unavailable parts reverse-engineered from a sample and reproduced — no supplier required.
Lighter, Better Parts
Where it helps, parts are improved in the conversion — consolidated, lightweighted, or reinforced.
One Supplier
Assessment, engineering, printing, finishing and inspection all under one roof, backed by the IPE Group.
