Industrial 3D printing has reached an inflection point where the cost and quality are now good enough to displace the $100B injection molding market. While 3D printing was used extensively for prototyping in the past due to high costs, new printing technologies now enable cost competitive plastic part production in the thousands of units. There are three market segments where additive manufacturing immediately applies: on-demand manufacturing, on-demand supply chains, and new on-demand and custom products and business models. Fast Radius aims to leverage additive manufacturing's potential through a global network of production facilities replicated around the world.

Welcome to the future of warehousing and manufacturing
How it works:
⢠Company stores parts in a virtual warehouse⌠parts are
printed when they need them⌠where they need them
⢠No more obsolescence
⢠No more physical storage
