A Blackpool-based automotive spare parts platform is poised to shake up the automotive industry after raising over £150,000 in investment.

E4-3D has created a 3D printing marketplace which sells certified digital design files of automotive spare parts, increasing efficiencies in the traditional spare parts supply chain.  The marketplace eliminates the need for a warehouse to store products. The on-demand 3D printing system optimises logistics, speeds up delivery times and reduces the CO2emissions generated through traditional practices.
