3D printed Auto Parts Online Marketplace
Preston, England, United Kingdom
Aim
The project aims to disrupt the market for automotive spare parts with its iprint3Dspares system that removes the need of physical warehouse
We all have cars and all cars need repairs. Over 60 million cars are produced globally each year. Automotive companies maintain spare parts inventory for all car models for 7-10 years, this leads to very high inventory holding cost or a low item fill rate if the part is out of stock.
The i-print3dspares.com digital part design file marketplace. The system stores the parts’ designs, and licences them to the end-user who will download the designs for the part and manufacture it on-site using container-based additive manufacturing system or a 3D printing service provider locally. The process starts at e-commerce marketplace, which includes a virtual warehouse to store the digital design files. There is an AR (Augmented Reality) app to visualize, select and customize a product, and a digital design files licence management system to manage the right to print the parts purchased by the end-users.
The Idea is to create a trusted and secure online marketplace to sell certified digital files under licence without the fear of loose IP. It allows aftermarket auto parts manufacturers stores the digital designs in central repository for all parts.
