Connect 4.0 Ltd.

Onsite AM for automotive spare parts Onsite AM for automotive spare parts Connect 4.0 Connect 4.0 aims to disrupt the market for automotive spare parts with its iprint3Dspares a factory-in-a-box system that removes the need for vehicle dealerships, fleets and service centres to order parts from off-site. The system stores the parts’ designs, and licences them to the end-user who will download the designs for the part and manufacture it on-site using Connect 4.0’s container-based manufacturing system. The process starts at the e-commerce marketplace, which includes a virtual warehouse to store the digital design files. There is an AR (Augmented Reality) app to visualize, select and customize a product, and a digital design files licence management system to manage the right to print the parts purchased by the end-users. Connect 4.0 has been shortlisted for the highly sought after NAA Design and Innovation Award 2019.
