Quickparts Builds a Four-Country Additive Manufacturing Network for Space and Defense

Quickparts is building a multi-country additive manufacturing network designed to reproduce the same qualified parts across different locations with consistent quality.

What happened?

Quickparts is building a multi-country additive manufacturing network designed to reproduce the same qualified parts across different locations with consistent quality.

Key details

  • The network connects manufacturing capacity across four countries.
  • Space and defense are the target markets, where qualification and repeatability are critical.
  • The strategy focuses on standardized processes, not simply installing more printers.
  • Localized production can shorten supply chains and improve responsiveness.

Why it matters

One of additive manufacturing’s strongest promises is the digital inventory: move the file, not the part. That only works if multiple sites can reproduce the same result, which is exactly the challenge Quickparts is addressing.

Anycubic Kobra 3 toolhead – successful firmware backup and the first steps toward a CAN-based Klipper toolboard

Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead Project – Another Milestone: Successful Firmware Backup and Preparing for a CAN-Based Toolboard Today marked another major milestone in the Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead project. Our objective is not to modify or preserve the original firmware. Instead, we are developing a completely custom firmware that will transform the factory controller board into a Klipper-compatible CAN Tool MCU with only minimal hardware modifications.
