Husqvarna Group partnered with Fast Radius to identify replacement parts suitable for production-grade additive manufacturing using HP Multi Jet Fusion and Carbon DLS. Parts undergo PPAP validation including UV, chemical, and cycle testing before being stored digitally. On-demand production eliminates physical inventory, reduces material waste, and ensures parts are never out of stock while cutting warehousing and working capital costs.

Key takeaways

Additive manufacturing enables economical production of spare parts in quantities as low as one

Virtual warehouse stores parts digitally, eliminating physical inventory and obsolescence risk

Parts are produced and delivered in days instead of weeks with traditional replenishment

Reduced material waste and lower carbon footprint support Husqvarna Sustainovate 2035 targets

PPAP validation with UV, chemical, and durability testing ensures production-grade quality
