According to Murphy’s Law, in the worst case, what is least needed always happens. Such situations include spare parts that are not available at all or are only available at high prices due to expensive tool and die moulds, urgent demand or large batch sizes.

This is exactly what happened to Elabo GmbH, a provider of testing systems, worker guidance and technical workplace solutions. Shortly before starting to shoot film scenes for an innovative project, the cover of the worktable featured in the film had been damaged.

In this unpleasant situation, the company turned to Würth Industrie Service, the partner for C-parts management, for help. It took a quick analysis of manufacturing capacity and offered a solution for this challenging task. A customised spare part was printed without the need for tools in low-volume production, and subsequently coated according to customer requirements. Finding a solution at short notice made it possible to shoot the film smoothly.

3D printing opens up new possibilities for companies and offers more flexibility, efficiency, lower costs and higher speed. In addition to the supply of spare parts, companies along the entire value chain benefit from the new services offered by Würth Industrie Service – be it companies in service, development or production, the spokesperson said.

With over 20 years of experience in the market, Würth Industrie Service has established itself as the number one partner for C-Parts for industrial applications. By offering additive manufacturing, the company will also expand its portfolio with other product groups, offering A and B parts in addition to C-Parts.

“The current supply of C-Parts is no longer just the provision of the demanded items. Instead, the process consists of a trusted collaboration with the customer, a profound knowledge of the goods and material flow and a deep integration into the existing process landscape. This way, Würth Industrie Service is a project partner that can be involved in any aspect of the development and implementation of construction components and that offers state-of-the-art solutions for any requirement in a 3D part,” he concluded.
