A trend prevails in machine construction to equip proprietary machines with a company-specific design in order to create manufacturer affiliation in customers. The individual design should ideally be mirrored in each individual component of the machine. This has been difficult for supplier parts up until now. The invention therefore relates to a method for providing data, wherein the data are downloaded via a network and/or via a suitable platform via the internet, wherein the data are fed into a 3D printer, wherein the 3D printer subsequently prints out a component and/or a blank, and wherein the component and/or the printed blank is a component of a connector. Using a method of this type, the customer can also adapt connectors to the machine design and also add additional technical components, if necessary, for example, sensors and displays. The expertise and the safety-relevant aspects are covered in turn by the connector manufacturer. |
