In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, efficiency and convenience are often top priorities. In recent years, several companies have emerged, offering on-demand manufacturing marketplaces. These resources may seem like the easiest way to get your parts produced quickly, but they come with their own sets of drawbacks that can compromise the quality, security, and overall experience of getting your parts made.
At 3D Parts Unlimited, we believe in the power of personalized service and expertise to deliver exceptional results for our customers. We will review the drawbacks of working with an online marketplace, and why working directly with a service bureau like 3D Parts Unlimited can yield the best results for your custom additive manufacturing needs.
How our Personalized Approach to Additive Manufacturing Services Compares to On-Demand Marketplaces
At 3D Parts Unlimited, we believe that relationships matter. We understand that every part is unique, and we believe in offering a personalized approach to manufacturing. Our team takes the time to understand your specific needs and preferences, ensuring we deliver exactly what you’re looking for. We’ll reach out to you with any questions or clarifications to ensure we’re on the same page every step of the way.
Here are some key benefits of working directly with us:
Expertise
When you partner with 3D Parts Unlimited, you gain access to our team of additive manufacturing experts. Whether you need assistance with design optimization, material selection, or technical specifications, our engineers are here to help. We provide valuable insights and guidance to help you achieve the best results for your project.
When you use an on-demand marketplace, you relinquish control over who makes your parts and how they are produced. There’s limited opportunity for collaboration throughout the manufacturing process, resulting in misunderstandings or possibly subpar outcomes.
Quality and Consistency
We follow ISO 9001:2015 quality standards and are committed to delivering consistent, high-quality parts with every order. You can trust that your parts will meet your specifications and exceed your expectations. By consistently working with the same service provider, you can ensure repeatability in the quality and performance of your parts.
On-demand marketplaces work with multiple service providers, which can lead to inconsistency in the quality of parts. If you order the exact same parts multiple times, you may end up with completely different results because each marketplace supplier may have different machines, shop environments, and quality assurance processes.
Security
Protecting your intellectual property is a top priority at 3D Parts Unlimited. We understand the importance of keeping your designs and files secure and confidential. That’s why we’re committed to maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity and data protection. We are CMMC 2.0 compliant, ensuring that your sensitive information remains safe and secure.
Faster Lead Times
3D Parts Unlimited can actually offer faster turnaround time for parts than an on-demand marketplace. We have a standard lead time of 5 days and offer expedited services for urgent orders, ensuring that you get your parts when you need them most.
