“…Furthermore, performance evaluation of AMT under a fuzzy environment Maldonado-Macías et al, 2014), the selection and implementation of AMT , barriers to AMT in small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) (Chan et al, 2015) and the determinants of AMT adoption (Arvanitis and Hollenstein, 2001;Ariss et al, 2000) are also examined in the literature. Goyal and Grover (2012) conducted an extensive literature review on the effectiveness of AMT, and details on the implementation of AMTs in manufacturing can be found in studies by Goyal and Grover (2012); Gunawardana (2010); Singh and Shishodia (2012); and Thomas et al (2008).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to find the relationships among advanced manufacturing technology (AMT), innovation, export and firm performance by using data obtained from 310 Turkish manufacturing firms. Design/methodology/approach A survey study was performed to obtain data from manufacturing firms. Multiple-item scales were adapted from the literature to conduct the survey in this study. Data were collected from five cities located in the Southeastern Anatolia Region in Turkey (Gaziantep, Adiyaman, Kilis, Diyarbakir and Sanliurfa). Structural equation modeling was utilized to investigate the relationships among AMT, innovation, export and firm performance in Turkish manufacturing firms operating in several industries. The direct and indirect relations between these variables are examined in the proposed conceptual model. In addition, the complex relations including in the proposed model are assessed in detail through the mediation analysis. Findings Six of the proposed ten hypotheses related to manufacturers are validated by the empirical evidence from manufacturing companies in Turkey. Significant findings obtained in this study include the following: there are strong positive associations between the use of AMT and innovation and between export and firm performance. In addition, innovation mediates the relationship between AMT and firm performance and between AMT and export. Finally, export mediates the relationship between AMT and firm performance and between innovation and firm performance. It is expected that the results obtained from this empirical analysis will help decision makers and managers to construct a good technology and production management strategy for manufacturing systems. Originality/value In this study, a novel conceptual model is proposed to examine the relationships among AMT, innovation, export and firm performance via the use of survey responses from 310 Turkish manufacturing firms. To the authors’ best knowledge, this is the first study that proposes such a conceptual model in the literature.

“…This method has a low cost and is feasible to be employed in several scales [155]. Construction patterns are necessary to warrant the convenient performance of fabricated structures in vivo and in vitro analyses before human implantation [156]. Additive manufacturing techniques are now extensively utilized in TE, and many researchers have evaluated different methods to overcome the medical difficulties of transplantation [157].…”

Tissue engineering (TE) employs biological, chemical, and engineering methods to regenerate and restore injured or lost living tissues by applying biologically activated biomaterials, cells, and molecules. The fast and convenient restoration of tissue is a great challenge, emphasizing the need to imitate tissue structure and its physicochemical, biological, and mechanical behavior to give back the desired functionality of damaged tissue. Depending on the particular tissue, numerous requirements have to be fulfilled with the help of material and scaffold design that provides a base for cell adhesion and proliferation. As a result, countless biodegradable and bioresorbable materials have been extensively examined. Composite systems combine the benefits of bioactive ceramics and polymers, which seem to be good alternatives for bone tissue engineering. This article intends to introduce bioactive polymer, tissue engineering methods, the kinds of biomaterials applied in scaffold invention, and the different approaches to producing the bioactive polymer-based composites with various structures such as porous, membrane, and 3D structure. Biomaterials and invention techniques could crucially influence the consequences of the scaffold's design architectures, cell proliferation, and mechanical behavior. Moreover, an excellent scaffold assists cell generation and the provision of cell nutrients in the human body with their particular material characteristics.

“…Finances can be managed in a better way and products can be customized on the basis of lesser cost of production and less bulk with the help of AMTs. The manufacturers and academicians accept the fact that improvement in flexibility, reduction in operating costs, lesser lead time and higher levels of output can be achieved by the implementation of AMTs, because these are more consistent and accurate than varying humans (Gunawardana, 2010). AMTs help in manufacturing of small volumes with an extensive range of varieties without extra costs (Dean and Snell, 1996; Goldhar and Jelinek, 1985; Gerwin, 1993; Kaplinsky, 1984; Kotha and Swamidass, 2000; Parthasarthy and Sethi, 1993; Swamidass and Kotha, 1998).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to find out and highlight the major influential barriers in the implementation of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of Northern India. The major barriers in the implementation of AMTs in manufacturing industries of Northern India have been critically assessed in this paper. Design/methodology/approach An ample and reasonable number of small- and medium-scale manufacturing industries of northern India have been surveyed with an aim to find out the barriers in the implementation of AMTs. On the basis of data collected, AHP–TOPSIS method was applied in order to measure the weightage of each barrier in a simple mathematical form. Findings High cost of AMTs, lack of appropriate financial resources and current processes or procedures are the major barriers that cause hindrance in the path of implementation of AMTs in SMEs. Research limitations/implications This investigation was based on the survey followed by judgments of experts in industry and academia; other approaches such as PROMETHEE, WPM, VIKOR, etc., can be applied for investigation. Also, the study can be carried out in different region(s) and parts of the country. Practical implications This paper can be helpful in many ways to the management or industrialists of various nations who are on the same path or will follow soon. Originality/value SMEs need to address the findings of this research in order to overcome the barriers and successfully implement the AMTs. A model for successful implementation of AMTs by overcoming the barriers has been suggested.
