About Fabitive 

Fabitive, based in Cartagena, Spain, is a pioneering company dedicated to integrating advanced 3D technologies in the metalworking and manufacturing industries. Specializing in additive manufacturing and digitization, Fabitive aims to revolutionize the naval, railway, and museography sectors, among others, by aligning them with Industry 4.0 standards. 

The Challenge 

In the fast-paced consulting and manufacturing sector, Fabitive faced the critical challenge of providing rapid responses to incoming RFQs. The traditional manual approach to costing and quoting was time-consuming and relied on few specialists. Estimating costs, assessing with in-house manufacturing methods, and responding to clients' inquiries required significant resources and often resulted in delays. 

The Implementation 

Fabitive implemented 3D Spark, a software solution designed to automate cost estimation, quotation processes and feasibility checks. 3D Spark harnesses the power of AI and complex algorithms to analyze various factors, including materials, machines, and pre- and post-processing steps, providing a detailed and accurate analysis.

Results that matter 

Fabitive's adoption of 3D Spark brought about remarkable transformations in their operations: 

1. 70% Reduction in Quoting Time: With 3D Spark, Fabitive slashed their quoting time by an astounding 70%, enabling them to respond to RFQs swiftly and efficiently. 

2. 250% Increase in Orders: The significant reduction in quoting time led to a substantial increase in orders, allowing Fabitive to capture more business opportunities. 

3. Effective Comparison of AM and Conventional Manufacturing: 3D Spark empowered Fabitive to make informed decisions by effectively comparing various Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes with conventional manufacturing technologies, ensuring that they could provide the best alternatives to clients when choosing between AM and traditional methods. 

Benefits 

Fabitive's partnership with 3D Spark not only streamlined their operations but also provided them and their customers with essential benefits: 

• Improved efficiency in the workflow. 

• Reduced time and resources spent on manual tasks. 

• Enhanced visibility into AM costs and trends. 

• The ability to assess the carbon footprint of different manufacturing options. 

Conclusion 

By integrating 3D Spark into their operations, Fabitive has not only achieved remarkable efficiency gains but has also enhanced their capacity to advise clients effectively on manufacturing choices. With a significant reduction in quoting time and the ability to compare AM and conventional manufacturing processes, Fabitive is now better equipped to serve its clients and thrive in the competitive manufacturing-as-a-service market.
