“…The importance of 3D printing to other technologies is very significant due to the many benefits that the technique brings, e.g. short time from design to prototype execution 15 , shortening the supply chain, and enabling spare parts manufacturing in production plants 16 , and the ability to produce even very complex structures (without the need to create many expensive forms) 17 .…”

In this work, the possibility of managing the rheological and mechanical parameters of composites based on PLA with the use of cubic structures of organofunctional spherosilicates was verified. To accurately observe the effect of various organosilicon modifier substitutions on changes in composites’ properties, we synthesized and used monofunctional octasubstituted derivatives as reference systems. The OSS/PLA systems were tested with concentrations of 0.1–2.5% (w/w) using extrusion to obtain a filament with a diameter of 1.75 mm. The printed samples underwent comprehensive tests including microscopic (SEM–EDS, optical microscope), rheological, thermal (TG, DSC, HDT), mechanical (impact and strength) as well as water contact angle tests. The work is interdisciplinary in nature and combines elements of organosilicon synthesis, materials engineering, and materials processing and characterization technology.

“…Fabrication of complex components with the AM process eliminates waste and waste generation [21,23], reduces raw material consumption [35], responds to customer demands [25], leads to simultaneous improvements in customer service [21,24], and has clear safety requirements, stated legal requirements [22], and mass customization [52]. AM moves production sites closer to the customer [31] and reduces disruptions and carbon emissions in the supply networks [74]. By lowering the product weight, transportation, and material waste, as well as enhancing functionality, the application of AM has a favorable environmental impact [79].…”

“…However, the existing review studies have their own limitations and gaps. For example, the review study by Asma et al [31] considered only the economic benefits of AM and missed the impacts of AM on the SC in terms of environmental and societal sustainability dimensions. The paper reported by Vojislav et al [32] aimed to review AM technologies and their state-of-the-art applications in tooling, biomedicine, and lightweight structures for the automotive and aerospace sectors.…”

Background: The objective of this literature review is to systematically explore the supply chain (SC)-related issues of additive manufacturing (AM)-based production processes. For SC sustainability, efficiency, and performance improvements, the adoptation of disruptive technologies like AM plays a vital role, because the product’s SC benefits in terms of reduced total lead time and costs. Methods: To explore the state-of-the-art influences of AM on the SC in this study, 978 papers published in peer-reviewed journals from 2004 to 2023 were retrieved, and 70 of these were identified as the most relevant and then reviewed. Results: As an outcome, the results of this review paper indicated a lack of documented studies in developing countries and, as a result, limited research works, for instance, in fashion industries were observed. In addition, AM best practices in the SC context have been identified and categorized as cost-related, time-related, inventor-related, as well as energy-, waste-, and environment-related factors, SC efficiency factors, and flexibility, marketing, and manufacturing-related factors. Conclusions: By identifying these categories, the study aims to contribute to the efforts of transforming traditional manufacturing into AM-based processes, for which a framework for the AM SC implementation is developed. In summary, the systematic review indicated that further research work is needed on the impacts of the identified AM best practices on SC performance.

In the emerging modern technology of additive manufacturing, the need for optimization can be found in literature in many places. Additive manufacturing (AM) is making an object layer by layer directly from digital data. Previous works of literature have classified additive manufacturing processes into seven types. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review describing the optimization challenges and opportunities in the material extrusion process (polymer technology) and also the need for FDM polymer materials application in impeller making. In this review paper, a specific optimization method called multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) from the mathematical programming technique used in additive manufacturing polymer technology (AMPT) is discussed. The other topics such as different types of optimization techniques, applications of different MCDM tools and their applications in different fields including AM, and the optimization challenges and opportunities in AMPT particularly impeller application are discussed.
