Newly launched, Philips' Fixables initiative addresses the limited repair options available to consumers. Rather than requiring customers to go through the hassle of sending products back for servicing, Philips is offering open access to 3D-printable replacement parts for select personal health products. The premise? If buying a replacement takes just one click, repairing a product someone already owns shouldn't be much harder.Fixables is the result of a collaboration with 3D printer manufacturer Prusa Research and creative agencies LePub Amsterdam and LePub Milan. Philips sees the project as part of its wider circular business strategy, and as a response to people's growing frustration with electronic waste and throwaway culture.At the core of Fixables is a digital library of 3D-printable parts. Users can download and print parts at home or through certified partners. The pilot kicked off in Czechia, with global access via Printables, an online platform for 3D printing owned by Prusa. Just one part is available at time of launch (a replacement comb for a beard trimmer), but additional parts will be added over time.
