MORSAN and LEHVOSS introduced a 3D printing spare-parts service for the food and beverage industry, featuring LUVOCOM 3F extrusion materials engineered for mechanically demanding and high-cleaning production environments. The offering provides a digital warehouse of industrial replacement parts for filling and packaging lines, using PPS, PA and PET materials to produce conveyor gears, chain guides, grippers and beverage can slides.
The partnership focuses not only on replicating existing components but also redesigning parts for specific load conditions to improve durability and operational efficiency. MORSAN said future software tools will allow customers to manufacture approved spare parts on-site, reducing dependence on centralized inventories and long lead times. LEHVOSS supplies the material expertise and technical support needed for industrial-grade repeatability and performance.
For manufacturers, the service could reduce downtime and improve maintenance flexibility through localized, application-specific additive manufacturing, reflecting broader adoption of digital spare-part supply chains in industrial production environments.
