“…The faster production process coupled with a simple supply chain brings down the supply chain lead time (SCLT). An SCLT reduction of up to 60% has been estimated by switching from conventional to additive manufacturing (Rinaldi et al 2021a , b ). Environmental sustainability AM has the potential to substantially reduce material consumption and wastage during manufacturing thus reducing the emission of CO 2 .…”

“… Environmental sustainability AM has the potential to substantially reduce material consumption and wastage during manufacturing thus reducing the emission of CO 2 . It minimizes the need for logistics, thus, CO 2 emissions associated with transport activities are reduced (Rinaldi et al 2021a , b ). It also facilitates an extended product life which is achieved through technical approaches such as repair, remanufacture, and refurbishment (Ford and Despeisse 2016 ; Boer et al 2020 ).…”

“…AM reduces the lead time, offers huge flexibility, shortens the time to market (Engelseth et al 2021 ), and helps to achieve environmental sustainability (Afshari et al 2019 ). The decentralized supply chain promoted by AM helps to locate the manufacturing facility closer to the customer (Rinaldi et al 2021a , b ). With operational and technological innovations, AM can also be used to achieve high-volume production output (Huang et al 2021a , b ).…”

Investigating the interaction of factors for implementing additive manufacturing to build an antifragile supply chain: TISM-MICMAC approach

et al. 2022

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has come across as an exogenous shock to the firms and their supply chains. It has led firms to rethink and rework their existing robust and resilient supply chains. The purpose of this study is to move beyond robustness and resilience and shift to an antifragile supply chain that sees disorder as an opportunity to learn and grow. In this study, various factors to attain an antifragile supply chain have been identified through literature review and experts’ opinions. Using TISM-MICMAC, structural relationships among these factors have been developed, and, then the factors have been classified as drivers or dependents. The study reveals the importance of having proactive top management as a major driving power to build an antifragile supply chain. Development of a strategy for collaboration and innovation, development of a skilled workforce for technology adoption, and resource allocation for digitalization are some other factors with strong driving power. The novelty of the study lies in its effort to drive the attention of researchers and practitioners towards thinking beyond robustness and resilience and shifting towards antifragility. The study will help firms in strategic decision-making for the adoption of additive manufacturing technology to develop antifragility in the supply chain and save itself from negative consequences in the face of disruption.

“…Compared to traditional subtractive manufacturing, additive manufacturing technology offers several advantages such as the possibility of creating, in a single piece, shapes with complex geometries, avoiding traditional assemblies [18]; the reduction of processing waste; the possibility of using alternative and innovative materials [19]; the reduction of production costs associated with the fabrication of objects in small series; great ease of customization of an object [20] compared to a basic model, with very low costs to manage production variations, and not requiring intervention on the machine equipment; the significant reduction of the "time to market", thanks to the possibility of producing small batches to be placed on the market, for an initial evaluation of the product response, and only then activating a large-scale production; and the possibility of producing components "on-site", thus also reducing warehouse stocks [21].…”

Re-Engineering of an Impeller for Submersible Electric Pump to Be Produced by Selective Laser Melting

et al. 2021

The subject of the present study is the reproduction of a submersible electric pump impeller through reverse engineering and additive manufacturing. All of the phases commonly envisaged in the reproduction of an existing piece were carried out. The aim of the study is to show how the chosen pump component can be effectively re-engineered and produced with the selective laser melting technique, obtaining a final product that is comparable if not even better than the starting one. To achieve this goal, the original piece was redesigned and a new model was created and analyzed. The whole process has been split into three main phases: (i) realization of the three-dimensional model from an existing piece using reverse engineering techniques; (ii) finite element analysis for the optimization of the use of the material; and (iii) 3D printing of a concept model in polyethylene terephthalate by using the fused deposition modeling technology and of the functional model in AISI 316 stainless steel with selective laser melting technology.

A Parametric Product Design Framework for the Development of Mass Customized Head/Face (Eyewear) Products

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study led to the development of a parametric design method for mass-customised head/face products. A systematic review of different approaches for mass customization was conducted, identifying advantages and limitations for their application to new product development. A parametric modelling algorithm of a 3D human face was developed using selected scanned 3D head models. The algorithm was developed from a set of measurable and adjustable parameter points related to the facial geometry. These parameters were defined using planimetry. Using the assigned parameter values as input, the parametric model generated 3D models of a human face that served as a reference for the design of customized eyewear. The current challenges and opportunities of mass customized head/face products are described, along with the possibilities for new parametric product design approaches to enable rapid manufacturing and mass customization. This study also explored whether a new parametric design framework for mass customization could be effectively implemented as an early-stage new product development strategy for head/face products.
