Auto Spare Parts

Drive Vehicle Innovation with Design Tools and Accelerate Vehicle Development

The automotive industry is evolving fast. As industry trends like autonomous driving, on-board connectivity, and hybrid/electric vehicles continue to drive innovation, agility-minded automotive companies are turning to experts to accelerate new product development and get to market faster. With quick-turn digital manufacturing and automated manufacturability feedback, designers and engineers can mitigate design and cost risks while developing a more responsive supply chain to better react to driver and passenger demands for more customized vehicles. Through our digital platform, our aim is to disrupt the automotive spare parts market by selling digital designs under-licence that are hard to acquire or a legacy model. Go from the design studio to the factory floor in a fraction of the time it takes other development processes. Prototype, test, and produce all manner of tools, jigs, fixtures, and street-ready parts with unprecedented speed and efficiency. Receive the knowledge and stay abreast of key rapid prototyping breakthroughs, helping make auto manufacturers and suppliers more competitive.

 

On-Demand Spare Parts & Tooling

Our digital manufacturing capabilities accelerate the development of a range of metal and plastic automotive components. We excel in providing Assembly line components, Fixtures, Enclosures and housings, Plastic dash components, Aftermarket parts, Armatures, Lenses & lighting features and on-board consumer electronics. Most of the spare part costs are due to storage and logistics. Additive manufacturing enables spare parts to be manufactured lightning-fast on demand, eliminating tool and storage costs. This also increases the efficiency, since production can occur with exactly the right number of parts and only when needed. Leverage the benefits of 3D printing for the fast launch of new parts, efficient production of small production series, as well as on-demand availability of longtail spare parts. Make your supply chain more resilient, sustainable and cost-efficient.

Digital Warehouse

With its e-commerce marketplace, a factory-in-a-box system will reduce the need for vehicle dealerships, fleets and service centres to order parts from off-site. OEM sells spare part designs to an authorized dealership, repair centre or part distributor. With these designs, they can print spare parts locally at shorter times and lower set up costs. The production on location of spare parts reduces your costs with stockpiles at centralized distribution centres as parts no longer need to be shipped. We can use reverse engineering technologies such as 3D scanning to save such parts in a digital inventory, or a ``warehouse``. All it takes is to download a certified digital design file and a Factory in a Box production system on site. With MetaMetry, you just need the design and store it in our digital inventory. Once a breakdown occurs, we print the spare part on-demand and decentrally.

Vintage & Legacy Parts

Most classic car collectors will likely say that finding OEM parts for vintage and legacy cars to be hardest when owning such vehicles. Restoring a car to its original condition is harder to achieve due to the limited availability of genuine parts and the fragile condition of those you find. Thankfully, 3D technology is comes to the rescue for rare and limited-edition vehicles. With the help of 3D printing, not-to-impossible classic car restorations are happening. Virtually any vehicle part can be recreated or restored with 3D scanning and 3D printing, ensuring that classic cars keep rolling. All our years of experience not only lead to a robust understanding of engineering design, reverse engineering, and remanufacturing of legacy parts, but also to a logistical mindset for project management, procurement, and supplier relationships.

Your End-to-End Solution for Industrial, Critical Spare Parts Production

Our digital manufacturing platform empowers manufacturers to shift from a physical to a digital inventory and provide spare parts on-demand, worldwide.

Get support in every step of your manufacturing journey with a full integration of our services into your supply chain. Launch new parts fast and risk free. For a quick and lean launch phase, we connect your digital inventory to your existing sales channels. Everything works the same for you, just a lot easier! After a while, parts are ordered in high volume as one can switch to conventional manufacturing as soon as you meet the break-even point. All your part designs can be stored in a digital inventory, reducing costs in warehousing and logistics. Our engineers support you with design knowledge as well as 3D printing technology and material expertise. We also offer 3D spare part design and simulation, reverse engineering, as well as design optimization for additive manufacturing. Parts can be produced everywhere and at any time, even at remote locations, making your supply chain more resilient. Plus, by producing decentrally, we can reduce carbon dioxide in logistics, simplify your supplier network, avoid downtimes with fast lead times and use less overstock & costs logistics.

MetaMetry allows you to make the most of your resources. We offer flexible services that are tailor-fit to the requirements of your specific project. Hire the talent you need for the tasks you need completed — no more, and no less. Whether you need an engineer to help design your system and/or part, a 3D modeler to hash out your ideas, or a product designer to help you with the design process throughout, we'll work with you to pair you with the services you need.
