The expenses associated with capital investments, storing inventory, and dealing with supply chain delays pose significant challenges for companies that keep a large stock of parts. However, if these companies were able to produce the required parts whenever they are needed, without the need for maintaining costly inventories, the advantages of adopting additive manufacturing (AM) becomes evident.
In this episode, host Fabian Alefeld speaks with Pieter Ruijssenaars, the CEO and founder of DiManEx. DiManEx is redefining the AM supply chain network for its clients. Pieter describes how AM navigates the complexities of supply chains, making them more resilient, especially in the light of current geo-political tensions, his smart concept of printing 'dumb parts', and how DiManEx builds digital inventories that lead to sustainable and cost-effective business strategies.
