Beyond CAD Revolutionizes Maytag Appliance Repair with On-Demand 3D Printed Parts

RENO, NV – October 26, 2023 – Forget endless searching for obscure Maytag appliance parts! Beyond CAD LLC, a cutting-edge design and manufacturing firm based in Reno, Nevada, is changing the game for appliance repair professionals and DIYers alike. They’re tackling the frustrating problem of discontinued or hard-to-find Maytag replacement parts with a surprisingly simple – and high-tech – solution: 3D printing. For years, appliance repair technicians have faced a constant struggle. A seemingly minor broken part – a dial knob, a washer drain pump impeller, a fridge door bin – can bring an entire expensive appliance to a standstill. Often, these parts are no longer manufactured, making repairs costly or even impossible. Customers are left facing the expensive prospect of replacing the entire appliance, even if it's otherwise perfectly functional. “We heard the frustration loud and clear from repair shops around the country,” says David Miller, CEO of Beyond CAD LLC. “They were wasting valuable time tracking down parts, dealing with long lead times, or just telling customers the repair wasn’t feasible. We thought, ‘There has to be a better way.’” And there is. Beyond CAD leverages its expertise in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and 3D printing to quickly and accurately create replacement parts for a wide range of Maytag appliances. They’re not just talking about common parts either. They specialize in those hard-to-find, discontinued, or even one-off pieces that are a nightmare to source. How Does It Work? It’s Easier Than You Think. The process is remarkably streamlined. Repair technicians – or even homeowners comfortable with a little DIY – simply identify the broken part and its model number. They can then submit a request to Beyond CAD, often with just a picture and the appliance's model information. “We have a team of skilled designers who can quickly create a 3D model of the part, even from a photo,” explains Sarah Chen, Lead Designer at Beyond CAD. “We’ve built up a huge library of Maytag appliance components, but if it’s something new, we can reverse engineer it quickly and efficiently.” Once the design is confirmed, Beyond CAD utilizes industrial-grade 3D printers to manufacture the part using durable, high-quality materials. This isn’t your hobbyist-level 3D printing. They use materials specifically chosen for their strength, heat resistance, and longevity, ensuring the replacement part meets or exceeds the original’s specifications. “We’re not just printing plastic trinkets,” Miller emphasizes. “We’re creating functional, reliable components that will last. We use materials like PETG, ABS, and even nylon blends, depending on the specific application and the stress the part will endure.” Beyond Just Parts: A Faster, More Sustainable Solution The benefits of Beyond CAD’s approach are significant. Reduced Downtime: Instead of waiting days or weeks for a part to arrive, technicians can often receive a 3D-printed replacement within 24-48 hours. This gets appliances back up and running quickly, keeping customers happy and reducing lost revenue for repair businesses. Cost Savings: Replacing a single part is often significantly cheaper than replacing an entire appliance. Beyond CAD’s solution makes repairs more affordable for everyone. Environmental Sustainability: By extending the life of appliances, Beyond CAD is helping to reduce electronic waste and promote a more sustainable approach to consumption. Fewer appliances ending up in landfills is a win for the environment. Support for Older Appliances: Beyond CAD breathes new life into older Maytag appliances, helping customers avoid the cost and hassle of upgrading to a new model. This is particularly appealing for those who appreciate the quality and durability of older appliances. Unique and Custom Solutions: Sometimes a part isn’t just discontinued, it was poorly designed to begin with. Beyond CAD can also modify existing designs or create entirely new parts to address known issues and improve appliance performance. What Kind of Maytag Parts Can Beyond CAD Create? The range is surprisingly broad. They’ve successfully 3D printed: Knobs and Dials: For stoves, washers, dryers, and dishwashers. Pump Impellers: For washing machines and dishwashers. Door Bins and Shelves: For refrigerators and freezers. Spray Arms: For dishwashers. Brackets and Mounting Hardware: For various appliances. Gaskets and Seals: Specialized seals for various Maytag models. Control Panel Components: Small, non-electronic parts for control panels. Customized components: Tailored parts to fit specific appliance needs. Beyond CAD: The Future of Appliance Repair? Beyond CAD isn’t just providing a service; they’re pioneering a new approach to appliance repair. By embracing the power of 3D printing, they're offering a faster, more affordable, and more sustainable solution to a persistent problem. “We see this as the future of appliance repair,” Miller concludes. “We’re empowering technicians and homeowners to fix things instead of replacing them. It’s good for their wallets, and it’s good for the planet.” About Beyond CAD LLC: Located at 9805 DOUBLE R BLVD, SUITE 300, RENO, NV, 89521-6026, UNITED STATES, and reachable at 216-317-7038, Beyond CAD LLC is a leading provider of on-demand 3D printed replacement parts for a wide range of appliances.
