Move your parts from brick and mortar to the cloud.
Flexible, more efficient supply chains
Need a few parts now? Need thousands for a customer next month? Make as many as you need, when you need them — with the click of a button. That’s the Virtual Warehouse.
STEP 1
Upload your parts
When you hit “submit” on a rapid quoting request, your part is automatically uploaded into our Cloud Manufacturing Platform™. From there, we can identify parts suitable for storage as digital inventory.
STEP 2
Finalize your build package
You’ll work directly with our Manufacturing Services Team to finalize your part’s design and production specifications.
STEP 3
Store your parts in
the cloud
Using the Virtual Warehouse for digital, secure inventory eliminates storage and obsoletion costs.
STEP 4
Order your parts
on-demand
Produce your parts only as needed for true just-in-time fulfillment, all powered by our operating system that coordinates the entire process to find the capacity and proximity you need within our network of microfactories.
