Few disruptive technologies will have such a game-changing impact on manufacturing and distribution of automotive aftermarket parts as 3D printing. However, a lot needs to happen before we see 3D printing routinely in the aftermarket supply chain. This session will cover the five most important parameters to determine the readiness of a part for 3D printing, 3D printing process considerations, as well as provide industry examples where 3D printing is already making a difference in the service supply chain.
Attendees will learn:
- The basics of 3D printing.
- Examples of 3D printing in the service supply chain.
- Outlook on when 3D printing will become routine in the aftermarket industry.
