挑战
Husqvarna Group, a leading producer of outdoor power products, was looking to evolve with shifting technology and customer demands. They were interested in exploring how 3D printing and additive manufacturing could drive impact for their business. The challenge was to identify parts that could be made more efficiently and sustainably through additive manufacturing, driving a reduced carbon footprint, improved customer experience, and lower costs. The parts needed to be produced at production scale and quality, and they needed to pass rigorous testing and certification for production and sale.
关于客户
Husqvarna Group is a Swedish global leading producer of outdoor power products for forest, park, and garden care. The company has a more than 300-year legacy of producing high-quality, leading-edge products centered around their customer needs and businesses. One of the reasons Husqvarna Group has been able to remain such a successful company for over a century is because of its ability to evolve with shifting technology and customer demands. The company is committed to sustainability and has established a group-wide Sustainability program “Sustainovate”, including publicly recognized and testified CO2 reduction targets for the year 2035.
解决方案
Fast Radius worked closely with Husqvarna Group to identify parts that could be made more efficiently and sustainably through additive manufacturing. They used their extensive knowledge of additive technologies to determine the best approach for producing the parts based on price and performance needs. HP® Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and Carbon Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) were identified as the ideal technologies for a broad set of Husqvarna Group’s replacement parts. After identifying families of parts that could be produced with additive manufacturing, they performed various tests to validate their performance and durability, and certify them for production and sale. An initial batch of parts has already passed Husqvarna Group’s rigorous Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) and are now being stored in the Fast Radius Virtual Warehouse.
运营影响
  • Reducing company carbon footprint through less material waste
  • Improving the customer experience with spare parts never being out of stock
  • Eliminating inventory carry costs - including working capital, warehousing, and obsolescence
数量效益
  • Nearly $550 billion is tied up in inventory in the manufacturing industry alone, according to a report from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). For a company the size of Husqvarna Group, working capital amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars in the traditional manufacture-warehouse-sell process.
