Würth Industry North America (WINA) signed a national agreement to distribute Markforged industrial metal and carbon fiber 3D printers.

“We are thrilled to bring innovative digital supply chain solutions to our customers,” stated WINA CEO Dan Hill.  “By integrating Markforged 3D Printing technology with our existing kanban programs, we are able to offer quicker time to market and lower inventory costs.  We’re able to cut out the sourcing, purchasing, and transportation costs and deliver the value directly to the customer.”

WINA now provides metal printed production parts and tools, rapid prototyping, and full service digital Kanban solutions to better manage inventory. 

Markforged’s metals include high-conductivity copper, industrial tool steel and superalloys like Inconel.  Its composite platform can print in continuous carbon fiber and Kevlar, “creating functional parts that rival aluminum in terms of strength and stiffness, but at a fraction of the weight.”

Würth Industry North America is a $1 billion division of the Würth Group.  WINA has 110 locations providing 420,000 fasteners and C-parts plus services.  Web: WurthIndustry.com
