Digital spare parts inventory · MEER 3D
Your spare part is already here.
It just needs to be printed.
With a digital spare parts inventory from MEER 3D, you produce selected spare parts right at your facility — preconfigured, validated and without in-depth 3D printing expertise.
Why store spare parts when you can store data?
Many businesses need the same plastic parts time and again. With a digital spare parts inventory, those parts are already on site — they simply haven’t been printed yet.

Your spare parts are already here — they just need to be printed.
We do more than sell you a 3D printer.
We set up your own spare parts supply.
From physical part to digital spare
No file available? We digitise your spare part.
Not every spare part is available as a CAD file. MEER 3D also supports you when existing components first need to be measured, digitised or reconstructed in CAD.
CAD data available
We review your existing CAD data, optimise it where needed and prepare the appropriate print jobs.
STL file available
We assess printability, orientation, material and print settings, then create a validated print job.
Only a physical part available
We digitise the component through measurement, 3D scanning and reverse engineering to create a reproducible digital spare part.
Where beneficial, we also optimise the geometry for additive manufacturing.
How your digital spare parts inventory works
01→
Collect your spare parts
You provide CAD data, STL files or existing sample parts.
02→
Digitise & assess
Where needed, we handle reverse engineering, 3D scanning and engineering preparation.

From days to hours
Conventional approach
Identify the spare part → Contact supplier → Place an order → Shipping
2–5 days
Digital
Select the part → Start printing
Approx. 90 minutes
Example based on a part that has already been prepared and validated. Actual times depend on the part, material, printing system and availability, among other factors. Time savings are not guaranteed.
The greatest savings often come from avoiding downtime rather than reducing the cost of the part.
Everything from one partner
Hardware
Suitable 3D printing systems, accessories, nozzles and build plates.
Material
Material selection tailored to the application, temperature, loads and operating environment.
