Fortune 500 Railway Company - Customer Case Study

Fortune 500 Railway Company, a global original equipment manufacturer for railway, needed to make maintenance and spare parts for end-of-life trains more accessible to reduce downtime and lower warehousing costs. To speed component development, enable customization, and shorten lead times the customer pursued additive manufacturing and selected 3YOURMIND, using a cloud-based version of the 3YOURMIND platform as its software partner.

3YOURMIND implemented a solution where customers submit parts to the platform for AM expert printability qualification, then use 3YOURMIND’s demand management features to schedule production across internal operations or an external supplier network. As a result, the company increased demand management efficiency by 80% (saving $2M annually), cut stocking costs by 50% (saving $500,000), reduced lead time by 88% from 24 weeks to 3 weeks, and realized more than $20M in savings from on-demand manufacturing.
