Powering MENA with on-demand Manufacturing
Faster Parts by Sourcing in MENA
We’ve expanded our network with local machine shops through out MENA to offer you a reliable solution for faster part sourcing. With the AM Lab, you can choose to order parts from manufacturers within your custom-clearance borders and have parts sent directly to you from our local network. This means lead times as fast as five days and fewer shipping and compliance hurdles.
Get parts machined in 5 days.
As we continue to grow our network through out MENA we’re able to offer even faster lead times. Our rapid CNC offering now includes five-day lead times for custom machined parts. All five-day CNC orders are sourced through machine shops locally and regionally.
Quality Network
This is what our order flow looks like.
Maintaining the quality of an entire network
We work with a highly vetted network of around 300 manufacturing partners (MPs) and hold each of them to the highest quality standards. To ensure all MPs uphold the Hubs Standard, we’ve developed comprehensive systems for selecting and supporting our suppliers. We continually audit our protocols to guarantee we deliver quality parts, every time.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM):
Real time feedback and next best action suggested through model analysis to ensure components’ manufacturability, leading to cost savings and shorter time to production.
Manufacturing Audit
We set the bar high.
We set the bar high
AM Lab has developed a set of processes to make sure highest manufacturing standards are applied to every custom part you order. We inspect each order dimensionaly and visually, both during and after production, so that your custom components are veliered on time and to your exact specifications.
We Audit Our Network
Manufacturing partners must consistently prove their quality after joining the network. We conduct audits every two years to ensure consistent quality across our network. These audits include quality audits to test capabilities and quality control, and social audits, to confirm environmental and social compliance. We also do frequent spot checks at our major sites.
