Any Fastener, Any Quantity, Anytime: IMS’s On-Demand Fastener Solution

Introduction

IMS Verbindungstechnik faced a growing challenge: how to meet demand for discontinued components and small custom runs without overstocking or driving up costs. Traditional manufacturing couldn’t provide the flexibility or speed they needed.
Partnering with Henkel’s Loctite®3D Printing team, IMS developed a proprietary SLA resin that transformed how they produce and deliver parts. This case study outlines the challenges they faced, the solution they created, and the operational, commercial, and sustainability gains achieved.
