(15th April 2025, London, U.K.) 3D People, the UK-based 3D printing specialist, has officially launched PartsVault™, a secure, cloud-based digital inventory platform that empowers customers to manage, store, and produce parts on demand — wherever and whenever needed.


Born from the lessons of a disrupted global supply chain and engineered for the demands of modern industry, PartsVault™ gives engineers, buyers, and production teams a centralised, browser-based hub to manage 3D-printed parts across their product lifecycle. Whether re-ordering repeat parts or producing emergency spares, PartsVault™ streamlines the process and delivers production-grade parts with the speed and flexibility only additive manufacturing can offer.
"PartsVault™ will transform the way our customers interact with us," says Felix Manley, Co-Founder of 3D People. "It eliminates guesswork and waste. You know what parts you need, and we make them — on demand, with precision and speed."

But PartsVault™ isn't just a solution for existing clients. It also represents a powerful opportunity for non-UK based companies to tap into the UK's advanced 3D printing infrastructure — without needing local warehousing or logistics networks. "Many manufacturers overseas are looking for ways to reduce reliance on fragile international supply chains," said Sasha Bruml, Co-Founder. "With PartsVault™, they can securely store part designs digitally and trigger local UK-based production whenever needed. No stockpiles. No customs. No delays."

The platform offers a timely solution to today's turbulent economic landscape, marked by pandemic aftershocks and potential trade tensions spurred by tariff escalations. PartsVault™ enables companies to sidestep the volatility of international logistics and control their production destiny. Manley concludes, "The digital inventory revolution is here, and 3D People is at the forefront. With ISO 9001 quality, a market-leading online portal, and in-house finishing services, 3D People is perfectly positioned to deliver localised, responsive manufacturing for customers worldwide."
