Würth Additive Group Launches 1st Edition of Digital Inventory Services at AMUG

Würth Additive Group, a company in digital supply chain solutions, officially launched the first edition of its Digital Inventory Services (DIS) platform on March 31, 2025, at the Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) Conference in Chicago. This milestone represents an introduction to a secure, quality-assured digital distribution network. Built to operate within Würth's global infrastructure, channels, and supplier network, DIS enables additive manufacturing users and stakeholders with tools to manage, authenticate, and deploy parts at scale.

First unveiled at AMUG 2024, Würth's DIS offers a secure, scalable way to store and transmit validated part data. In 2025, the platform becomes fully operational, allowing OEMs, suppliers, and service providers to manage digital files, oversee distributed production workflows, and ensure part availability in real time.

Smart Approach to Digital Inventory

The DIS platform gives users the ability to:

• Securely store validated manufacturing workflows, including OEM-certified recipes, to support quality assurance, traceability, and repeatability.
• Enhance security and protect intellectual property through encrypted authentication and controlled access.
• Enable just-in-time manufacturing to reduce lead times and mitigate disruptions.
• Operate within Würth's existing global supply chain—leveraging an established network of systems, suppliers, and infrastructure.

"This technology supports our customers as they integrate the next generation of inventory management, with an emphasis on sustainability, security, and scalability," said Larry Stevens, executive vice president of Würth Line Industry Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Americas. "By merging additive manufacturing with Würth's digital supply chain infrastructure, we are expanding how companies source, manage, and deploy parts globally—helping them align inventory strategies with operational and sustainability goals."

"DIS is purpose-built for industrial users who need reliability, flexibility, and speed," says AJ Strandquist, CEO of Würth Additive Group. "We invite innovators to join our digital catalog and connect with Würth's trusted global supplier and distribution network. Together, we're creating secure pathways to manufacture and deliver validated parts—anytime, anywhere."

AMUG 2025 Rollout
