3Dprinting spare parts

"3Dprinting spare parts for different industries has become big bussiness"

Owner, Steve Jacks tendered 3Design Ltd New Zealand. to reproduce a bearing case from a piece of
farming equipment. The farming manufacture’s only replacement option was to purchase a multiple
component encasing in which costs were running around $3500 dollars.
Since the only part to wear and brake was the bearing casing, Steve was looking for an alternative to
reduce costs. 3Design Ltd. drafted up the model using a used broken portion of the casing and
printed the design for testing purposes. After a few revisions, we were able to produce the part for
under $50, saving Jack’s Machinery thousands.
