Keep Up To Date with the 3D Printing Materials Production Status

Comments 4
 
 We have introduced the Materials Production Status page to keep you informed of the current status of our production facilities. We will use this to let you know current lead times for delivery, the length of any backlog, or if a material is temporarily put on hold until our production is back up to speed.  For even greater transparency we will also use this to keep you informed of the reasons behind any delays.  Think of it as a little window into the machine that makes your 3D printing happen.  Let us know what you think, does this help to manage expectation, is there anything else we can do to help you understand the status of your 3D prints.

Great idea, I've been hoping for something like this!

Looks great - I really like the green-yellow-red colour coding for production status.

Great idea. You could also put a hyperlink from each product over to the product specifications page - a handy cross-link to the properties of each product type.

This Materials Status page deserves its own link on the site's main menu bar under 'Support".
