3D printing enables faster reaction and fl exibility for delivering spare parts
license management for spare parts to enable owners of Mercedes-Benz and Setra buses and coaches to produce spare parts quickly and cheaply at their own premises. All the user needs are a certifi ed 3D printer, a one-off registration process, and a license for the required part in the required quantity to create their own ‘mini parts factory’. “3D printing licenses off er our
customers the opportunity to buy a 3D printing dataset in combination with the recipe of how to print the parts, so that they can print their spare parts themselves,” Rehm explained. “This off ers several advantages, such as faster availability, cheaper prices, and the reduction of transport costs and times. We also off er our additive manufacturing solutions consulting
unit which provides diff erent services to customers alongside our centre of competence. We can off er individual services and workshops to fi t the needs of our customers, as well as sharing our failures and learnings so that they can improve AM adoption within their setup.” And Daimler’s work on AM adoption doesn’t stop there. “AM is the future of our company,” Rehm added. “And this is the case not only for Daimler, but for a lot of other companies, too. 3D printing enables us to be more fl exible, producing parts in the amount that we need and in the time required. We can react faster, because we can realise the possible delivery of parts, and of course, there are many cost saving advantages. We are also working in a more environmentally-friendly way as 3D

printing is a more sustainable technology from the beginning. The digital twin and warehousing innovations are helping us to realise many benefi ts for our customers.”
