Standard part

A standard part is a standardized component that is manufactured according to defined standards and specifications and can be used in various industrial applications. These standardized components are of great importance for efficient production and assembly, as they ensure consistency, interchangeability and compatibility between different products and manufacturers.

Standard parts cover a wide range of components, including screws, nuts, washers, bearings, springs and many others used in machine building, electrical engineering, construction and numerous other fields. These parts are standardized via national and international standards, such as DIN, ISO or ANSI, which define precise specifications regarding size, material and mechanical properties.

The advantage of standard parts is that they reduce costs and simplify the production process, as they are mass-produced and their universal applicability makes warehousing more efficient. They also speed up product development times by reducing the need for customer-specific solutions and simplifying integration into existing systems.

In 3D printing, standard parts can be produced in-house or used as a component in a larger printed part. This offers opportunities for quick adjustments and the integration of standardized elements into individual designs, which further increases the flexibility and adaptability of additive manufacturing.

The use of standard parts supports the streamlining of industrial processes and makes the manufacture of products much more efficient in a globalized economy.
