This work order involved replacing an entire sequence of locks at a cost of ~$25k due to a single snapped castell key. The work order was placed on hold after the team realised that 3D printing could provide a more cost-effective alternative.   Benefits:   **COST REDUCTION** - By utilising 3D printing technology, a replacement key could be manfactured at a fraction of the lock replacement price.   **PRODUCTIVITY** - The time to deliver a solution for the lock replacement work order went from 12 weeks to 3 days by 3D printing a new castell key.  Current Status: Implemented - this initiative highlights how new technology such as 3D printing can be used to reduce costs throughout the business.  ![innovation](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/innovation.png?width=600&height=338&name=innovation.png)   ## Leave a comment Previous Post Our 2023 Full Year Results Next Post Growing in the NT ## Recommended For You [![](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/hubfs/Doug%20Macintyre%20-%20Thumbnail.png)](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/ramp-up/a-message-from-your-general-manager) [Leadership Updates](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/ramp-up/tag/leadership-updates) 1 Min Read ### [A message from Doug Macintyre, Mar '22](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/ramp-up/a-message-from-your-general-manager) Welcome to this month’s edition of Ramp Up.
