Abstract

Additive manufacturing technologies, such as 3D printing, have reached a stage of performance for industrial application such as small series and spare parts. The adoption of additive manufacturing has so far mostly been investigated from the perspective of individual manufacturing firms. This paper focuses on the identification of overarching influence factors. In a category system, influence factors are analyzed from the perspectives of the supply and demand side, the supply chain actors and flows as well as sustainability, thus contributing to the adoption from a supply chain perspective.
