The mining industry operates in some of the most remote locations in the world, far from traditional manufacturing hubs and supply chains. This remoteness creates constant challenges for procurement, maintenance, and engineering teams who need to keep operations running smoothly while managing costs, lead times, and risks.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is transforming the way mining companies approach spare parts, tooling, and maintenance. With the ability to design parts centrally and produce them on site, mining operators can reduce downtime, strengthen supply chain resilience, and streamline workflows.

We’re excited to host two expert speakers:

Gareth Hughes, Chief Operating Officer, Quarry Mining – Gareth will share real-world examples of how Quarry Mining is leveraging additive manufacturing in the field to overcome supply chain and maintenance challenges.
James Moody, Business Operations Manager, CADDS Group – James will discuss how CADDS Group integrates additive manufacturing into its advanced engineering and design services for clients such as Rio Tinto, showcasing how the technology supports innovation, agility, and sustainability across large-scale mining operations.
Masa Okuna, Senior Application Engineer, Markforged – Masa will provide insights into the technology, applications, and strategies that enable mining companies to adopt AM effectively.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

Key supply chain and operational pressures shaping the mining industry today
How additive manufacturing supports resilience in MRO, end-use parts, and manufacturing aids
Case studies from Quarry Mining and Markforged’s global mining customers
Practical steps to build an additive manufacturing strategy for your operations

Why attend?

Discover how to turn a complex system of physical parts into secure digital inventories stored in the cloud, ready to be printed on demand and on site. This approach reduces reliance on external suppliers, avoids delays from shipping or customs, and ensures mission-critical equipment stays operational.
