“…Additive manufacturing and the respective technologies have opened up a vast field of research activities, ranging from detailed aspects of different manufacturing processes and materials (e.g., [89][90][91][92][93][94][95]) and design for additive manufacturing (e.g., [96][97][98][99]) to hybrid manufacturing (e.g., [100][101][102]), Industry 4.0 (e.g., [103][104][105]), and sustainability (e.g., [98,[106][107][108][109][110]).…”

There is a growing demand for more flexibility in manufacturing to counter the volatility and unpredictability of the markets and provide more individualization for customers. However, the design and implementation of flexibility within manufacturing systems are costly and only economically viable if applicable to actual demand fluctuations. To this end, companies are considering additive manufacturing (AM) to make production more flexible. This paper develops a conceptual model for the impact quantification of AM on volume and mix flexibility within production systems in the early stages of the factory-planning process. Together with the model, an application guideline is presented to help planners with the flexibility quantification and the factory design process. Following the development of the model and guideline, a case study is presented to indicate the potential impact additive technologies can have on manufacturing flexibility Within the case study, various scenarios with different production system configurations and production programs are analyzed, and the impact of the additive technologies on volume and mix flexibility is calculated. This work will allow factory planners to determine the potential impacts of AM on manufacturing flexibility in an early planning stage and design their production systems accordingly.

“…But the research gap in AM process such as tooling, advantage based on only homogeneous material, and decisions making for choosing AM process [1,2,39]. e common key issues of the AM are, namely, occupational health, energy usage, lifecycle impact, and waste usage [40]. In the AM, only the consumer may involve in the manufacturing process to share their design ideas or concept.…”

In the past 3 decades, the emerging technology in manufacturing sector other than conventional manufacturing is additive manufacturing (AM). The additive manufacturing principle was completely born from the research gaps of conventional manufacturing concepts such that the elimination of wastage and produce the component layer upon layer. Every new technology obtains the sustainability that may consider in the supply chain management principle of the raw material to finished products and decision-making techniques are to reach the consumer or customer as properly and periodically but these things are addressed challenges in additive manufacturing. This review paper aims to narrate the common research gaps on additive manufacturing, the structure of the supply chain management on AM, MCDM tools/techniques, AM application in different fields, challenges of selection of additive manufacturing, AM processes, and its application. The traditional method of literature review has been used for this review. The outcome of this review has helped the new researcher’s decision making on the AM various problems as easily and the new researchers may give the experimental solution for explored research gaps.

“…Additive manufacturing has acquired a great interest from the global industrial panorama since its appearance in the late 1980s, gaining ground in diverse sectors, as being considered a technology capable to guide the industry towards an environmentally sustainable direction [1][2][3][4]. This direction is due to its characteristics such as the efficient use of resources (raw materials and energy), as well as the reduction of CO 2 emissions derived from its processes [3,[5][6][7][8][9].…”

Additive manufacturing has acquired a global industrial panorama for being an alternative to redirect the industry towards sustainability. However, previous studies have indicated that fused deposition modelling (FDM) techniques are potential sources of particles that are harmful to health. For this reason, this work is focused on exploring the behaviour and distribution of FDM resultant nanoparticles from the most commonly used printable materials through alternative methods as digital holographic microscopy (DHM). In this paper, we present the feasibility of using DHM to determine the presence of nanoparticles in the FDM process. Experimental results validate this technology’s precision and provide extensive knowledge about the implications of the FDM on health. The measure of the thin films deposited in glass substrates was between a minimum of 9 nm to a maximum of 200 nm, in agreement with the previous studies.
