it seems to be hitting wider and deeper than ever before.
my company makes Industrial 3D printers and we typically see a lot of interest due to helping larger companies control some of their supply chain for parts and tools. but the recent trade show had a very high volume of smaller to mid sized manufacturers and specialty companies (pool maintenance supply, hot tubs, smaller oil driller, etc...) looking to use additive manufacturing, 3D printing, to try and address their supply chain shortages. no shortage of creativity out there to address the supply chain problems that don't seem to be going away anytime soon.

I haven't been plagued by any one particular thing, but on a given day we struggle to get certain things that were once always available. I do resi HVAC, plumbing, electrical.
certain parts of the country are struggling badly with HVAC equipment availability. Luckily my company hasn't had this issue. One day it was white light switches, another it was 50a breakers, now it's certain sizes of flex duct. I have a feeling its going to get really crazy.

Yes it is a daily struggle for us with getting equipment and certain materials. When it is available, prices are higher. I can't keep up with updating the price increases on our price lists for our quoting software. Our margins are down because it's taking way longer to complete projects and the shortages don't seem to be getting much better.
