One of our Field Service Engineers left Pella, IA on a Monday morning, drove five hours away then got to work fixing a bunch of Fortus 400mc and Fortus 900mc FDM 3D printers. Our customer gave us a laundry list of problems many minor issues, some larger issues like a 900mc Y axis linear bearing that was coming apart. After four full days on site and two half days driving we had 10 Stratasys Fortus 3d printers fixed-up, tuned-up and calibrated. In other words we averaged 2.5 machines repaired per on site workday because we have: the expertise, training, knowledge, spare parts and laser focus.
Our customer got 10 production 3d printers back in perfect running order the most cost effective way possible, they hired Pivot AM Service.
