“…This unique feature of AM reduces the need for logistics, time from production to sale, and environmental impact [22]. The paper in [23] examined the impact of AM on companies' value creation on single areas in manufacturing sectors. And the result of their paper illustrated that AM changes time to market strategies, product variety and improve customer satisfaction.…”

The main objective of this study is to assess the awarness levels of acadamic staffs and industry experts towards the best practices of additive manufacturing (AM) in transforming traditional manufacturing (TM) in local context. The study used closed ended questionnaires with 1-5 liker scales to collect secondary data from the respondents. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) by using SPSS v20 software. The findings of this paper identified ten (10) AM best practice benefit factors (Resource consumption benefit factor, Waste management benefit factor, Pollution control benefit factor Material utilization benefit factors, Design optimization benefit factor, Manufacturing flexibility best practice factors, SC flexibility benefit factors, SC network improvement benefit factor, Cost reduction benefit factors, Ability of changing customer demand benefit factors) in transforming traditional manufacturing in local context. Among the eight AM best practices both academic staffs and industry experts have common awareness level on five factors. In addition, the findings of the study showed that 49% of academic staffs and 37% of industry experts have good awarness levels towards the identified AM best practices in transfornig traditional manufacturing. Based on the findings of this study conceptual framework was developed for future research work to quantitatively investigate the effects of AM best practices on traditional manufacturing performmance.

“…In manufacturing industries, the competition has shifted over the past decades from reducing costs to creating high-added-value, i.e., high customization, new business models and human capital, service dimension, and creating sustainable value [52]. Manufacturing industries can have intrinsic and extrinsic motivations to use digital technologies in their production process to create values [53,54]. Digital technologies, often under the label I4.0, include, e.g., additive manufacturing, robotics and automation, big data, augmented reality, simulation, digital twins, IoT, cybersecurity, and cloud computing [54].…”

The rapid ongoing digital transformation creates new opportunities to generate value but also challenges companies in the manufacturing industry to adapt to the recent changes. Moreover, committing to sustainability is essential to maintain competitive advantages, build a more resilient company, and manage increasing societal demands and regulations. Referred to as a “twin transition”, the digital transformation can positively impact firms’ commitments to environmental sustainability. This paper explores challenges that small technology solution providers face on their path toward developing sustainable production solutions for their manufacturing customers. An empirical study was conducted in an industrial cluster of small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) providing innovative, tailor-made production technology solutions to manufacturing companies. As a result, a collaborative process model was suggested for such SMEs to overcome internal and external barriers to obtaining sustainability, thus better supporting the manufacturing companies, i.e., their customers, to strive towards more sustainable production.

“…As for AM added value and value potentials in companies there is some existing research. Kritzinger et al describes in their research key potentials and key challenges from the perspective of the product, the technology, the process and the value chain which are amongst others limitations on materials and a short delivery time [11]. Hämämläinen and Ojala analyze value potential in groups and business networks and state that AM value in the context of business networks occur primarily in the relations to the customers, suppliers and employees [8].…”

Additive Manufacturing allows the production of parts based on layer by layer, three-dimensional printing. With a unique set of characteristics, Additive Manufacturing is an important technology regarding the digital transformation and digital value creation of the manufacturing domain. Particularly small and medium sized enterprises are challenged by digital transformation processes and decisions on where to invest their limited resources. This paper identifies business potentials of Additive Manufacturing based on a recent case study conducted during collaborative workshops with five small and medium sized enterprises. Considering the special capabilities of Additive Manufacturing technology, business potentials are examined alongside the entire product lifecycle. It was found that these potentials appear primarily on a digital level and are therefore not limited to the physical domain. The potentials may channel enterprise transformation and enable the purposive generation of digital value.
