Joint Production
Varcad begins the production of 3D printable products with its collaborative production and co-manufacturing approach. The project has a portfolio of high-tech products that are fully functional and can perform all their functions at a low price. With Joint Production, students, in short professional users, and Varcad produce together. All critical and key parts will be created using aluminum fabrication techniques that have gone through the Varcad CNC machine. In fact, the company's future electronic parts aim to be able to deliver this work. In Varcad's part, these users will print and assemble the remaining parts using 3D printers. In this way, there will be a decrease in the price and it will be reflected in the final price, and users will be able to personalize it as they wish.
Now, let's analyze the Co-production model a bit. What might be its advantages and symptoms? First of all, this model provides serious financial gain. The products sold by Varcad are sold at a significantly more affordable price than the regular version of a product. The reasons for this are that the joint production model reduces the temperature significantly for the producer and disables a part of the production. In the current situation, it is not very easy to launch several shell designs for the same product. Because the input times for mass production parts for information are significantly high. They must produce and sell dozens of the same product so that they can save on mold costs. Therefore, co-production can be an encouraging step that reduces entry costs for employees and entrepreneurs who produce and try to sell physical products.
Another advantage of the co-production model is that users actively participate in production. Thanks to the IKEA effect, happier customers can be created by actively participating in production. Users can also create their own creative experience in accordance with the product. In addition, in case of any damage to the product, the shell part can be easily printed using a 3D printer. In this way, he can compensate for his losses at an affordable price.
What are the disadvantages or possible limitations? To get involved in the co-production model, people have features for 3D printers. Questions such as 'Is the money to buy a 3D Printer worth it?' may arise. In order for the 3D printer to pay for itself, the customer needs to produce perhaps 10-15 products internally. This can happen after the product diversity in the co-production formation grows and a market emerges.
Let's assume we buy the 3D printer and participate in production. The part (cover) coming out of the 3D Printer must be as smooth and usable as the ready-made product. Each user's 3D printer will have different capacities and produce parts of different quality. This may be a limitation considering the product quality. Another limitation is that the knowledge of using a 3D printer or computer does not have the necessary technical proficiency. But this is not an insurmountable difficulty. A clearly written user manual for printing design changes and physically assembling the underlying parts will solve this problem.
Co-Production agreement is an advanced way for entrepreneurs, users and users. Currently, most electronic devices or small design accessories can be produced and sold in a co-production configuration. For this, existing electronic harmful shell designs or plastic parts designs must be renewed and the introduction of 3D printers must become widespread. More products that fit this model will be launched and marketed widely, increasing demand. The emergence of such a market and the spread of this model really excites me. Alright and you?
Varcad Production
For years, the on-demand manufacturing industry suffered from a lack of consistent pricing driven mainly by the existing manufacturing sourcing and procurement processes that were complex, uncertain, costly and time-consuming. Pricing was in a word, opaque. We focused on developing a means to generate an instant and accurate price for our buyers and allow sellers to source curated manufacturing opportunities that match their specific processes and capacity.
Varcad essentially created a liquid, scalable and global marketplace for the sourcing of on-demand parts. This liquidity gave us the opportunity to gain visibility into the supply and demand balance locally, regionally, and globally. Liquidity permits us to route work intelligently to support a more robust and resilient supply chain that is designed to respond to crises such as pandemics or natural disasters without skipping a beat.
