AM technology also provides customized shape, digital interaction with customers, direct manufacturing that give benefits in terms of lower cost, reduced supply chain complexity and lead times, etc. AM technology has been already adopted in fields of dental, biomedical, fashion and apparel due to ...
Herderick, Director of Additive Manufacturing at the Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence, The Ohio State University. "Outsourcing to Asia with long supply chain lead times is not nimble enough to respond in a crisis. It has really demonstrated the need for truly digital, truly rapid ...
Additive manufacturing is one of the leading production technologies when it comes to the efficient production of individual parts. This paper explains how additive manufacturing will influence purchasing processes and network structures of producing companies in future supply chain networks. Therefore, an ...
Many supply-chain headaches can be alleviated with additive manufacturing, also known as 3-D printing. But before we put on our rose-tinted glasses, we should remind ourselves that there are perils attached to these benefits that can keep top management — and even the CEO ...
Using Resource Dependence Theory (RDT), this paper explores the changing state of Supply Chain (SC) complexities and dependencies resulting from Additive Manufacturing (AM) adoption, analysing implications for competitiveness. We utilised an adapted SC configuration framework to develop embedded case studie...
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the potential impact of additive manufacturing improvements on the configuration of spare parts supply chains. This goal has been accomplished through scenario modeling of a real-life spare parts supply chain in the aeronautics industry. The spare parts ...
In most supply chains, the application of additive manufacturing (AM) is still far from common. However, various industries ranging from aerospace to consumer goods are investigating its potential to enable the digital value chain. Considering these developments, the research community has supported the...
Additive Manufacturing for Production (AMP): Exclusive access to a technical program on AM for industrial series part production Technology Displays: Interactive displays featuring leading AM technology and service suppliers Solutions Networking: Professional networking in unique Austin, Texas, environments All...
HP is planning to use its own supply chain as a testbed and case study for scaling 3D printing and additive manufacturing technology.
Supply Chain Scenarios for Logistics Service Providers in the Context of Additive Spare Parts Manufacturing Current supply chain structures in the spare parts logistics are changing profoundly due to the influence of digitalization and additive manufacturing (AM)...
