Opis

This edited book serves to unify the current state of knowledge in the technologies of 3D printing and additive manufacturing and their impact on manufacturing operations. Bringing together leading experts across the operations and supply chain disciplines, the contributions offer a concise, accessible and focused text for postgraduates and researchers in this discipline. The focus of this book is on the effects of 3D printing for operations and how to effectively manage them, both in the present day and the future. Showing how 3DP can be implemented in a multitude of business models, it also explores how to manage 3DP in a production environment and issues within the management of the supply chain, and develops a roadmap towards long-term digital integration for 3DP.
