A circular manufacturing venture developing sustainable, distributed, and circular systems for production.
Batch.Works is building circular, distributed 3D printing solutions to address manufacturing industry challenges such as inefficiency, quality control, and sustainability.
Manufacturing supply chains are highly inefficient (73% of organisations face supply chain disruptions annually) and can have lead times of up to 36 months from design to market, limiting responsiveness to market changes and consumer demands. Additionally current practices contribute 22% of global CO2 emissions alongside overproduction of products and inaccurate demand forecasting which result in 92 million tonnes of waste annually.
Additive manufacture (3D printing) could be a great solution to these issues however in its current form it has not realised its full potential due to a specialist skills gap in DFAM (design for Additive Manufacture), lack of infrastructure and issues with quality and reliability, leading to a high failure rate of parts. Batch.Works’ novel hardware and software is developing solutions to these challenges by providing end-to-end support from design to production, ensuring high-quality outputs with a reduced carbon footprint.
Batch.Works aims to empower businesses to create innovative products quickly and cost-effectively, transitioning from traditional manufacturing to more agile and circular methods.
Batch.Works was co-founded by Julien Vaissieres and MA Design Products (2018) graduate Milo Mcloughlin-Greening.
