“…Lifecycle cost, sustainability, supply chain and production costs have been less focused on. General aspects of AM (Bikas et al, 2015;Bogers et al, 2016;Brans, 2013;Cardaropoli et al, 2012a;Ferro et al, 2016;Gao et al, 2015;Go & Hart, 2016;Hedrick et al, 2015;Kianian et al, 2016;Lindemann et al, 2015;Mellor et al, 2014;Muita et al, 2015;Nickels, 2016;Rayna & Striukova, 2016;Scholz et al, 2016;Winkless, 2015;Wits et al, 2016;Wong & Hernandez, 2012); industry (Brettel et al, 2016;Gaub, 2015;Fera & Macchiaroli, 2010;Stock & Seliger, 2016); implications of its use (Bogers et al, 2016;Huang et al;Newman et al, 2015;Rayna & Striukova, 2016); example of its application (Caiazzo et al, 2013;Cardaropoli et al, 2012b;Gupta et al, 2016;Huang et al;Uhlmann et al, 2015;Wits et al, 2016); flexibility (Brettel et al, 2016;Cox et al, 2016) and technology selection (Newman et al, 2015) allow us to contextualize AM in an actual production system. There are many papers on mechanical characteristics, microstructures and properties (Brugo et al, 2016;Hinojos et al, 2016;Huynh et al;List et al, 2014;<...>…”

From the past decades, increasing attention has been paid to the quality level of technological and mechanical properties achieved by the Additive Manufacturing (AM); these two elements have achieved a good performance, and it is possible to compare this with the results achieved by traditional technology. Therefore, the AM maturity is high enough to let industries adopt this technology in a more general production framework as the mechanical manufacturing industrial one is. Since the technological and mechanical properties are also beneficial for the materials produced with AM, the primary objective of this paper is to focus more on managerial facets, such as the cost control of a production environment, where these new technologies are present. This paper aims to analyse the existing literature about the cost models developed specifically for AM from an operations management point of view and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of all models.

“…Additive manufacturing (AM) has been gaining acceptance in various fields including aerospace, biomedical, engineering, bio-manufacturing for past decades. For these applications, different AM techniques have been used according to desired part geometries and intended materials to be used (Winkless, 2015; Klahn et al , 2015; Alapan et al , 2015). Laminated object manufacturing, selective laser sintering, stereolithography and fused deposition modeling (FDM) are the most frequently used techniques in 3D printing (Ning et al , 2015; Carneiro et al , 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to characterize the effects of different micro particle reinforcement with same weight ratio in acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) feed-stocks for 3D printing process. Design/methodology/approach In this study, composite filaments were produced by using a co-rotational twin screw extruder and used as building material to print samples in a commercial fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer. The reinforcement particles, ZrB2 and Al, have different properties, including density, surface area, purity and particle morphology, and were expected to improve mechanical properties of 3D printed samples. Differential calorimetry scanning and melt flow index studies were applied on the materials to observe the change in glass transition temperatures and melt flow behaviors, respectively. Also, to evaluate the mechanical properties, tensile and three-point bending test were carried out. Fractured surfaces were characterized via energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy for validation of the reinforcements in the ABS matrix. Moreover, scanning electron microscope micrograph examination was conducted on the fractured surfaces to characterize fracture modes. Findings For 3D printed samples, a strain increase of at least 82.5 per cent was achieved by using micro particle reinforcement with a weight ratio of 1.5 per cent. Research limitations/implications Higher filler ratios of the reinforcement particles cause loss on the printability of the feed-stocks. Practical implications Reinforced ABS stands out as a possible solution to overcome robustness problems in FDM printing. Originality/value Even though the effects of printing parameters on the mechanical properties of 3D printed parts have been vastly studied in the literature, studies conducted on improvement of the building materials are limited. This paper proposes to create novel feed-stock materials for achieving printed parts with superior properties using polymer composites.

“…The metamaterial absorber combined with 3D printing technology i.e., assisted by a swastika symbol to minimize footprint size (Kim et al, 2019) is also helpful and the same goes to truncated spherical cone structure as well (Yoon et al, 2018). The growing use of 3D printing has opened the door to low cost goods produced by individual consumers (Winkless, 2015) which helps in creating the flexibility and low cost that allow for a fast turnaround (Romeo, 2019). It facilitates the development of a low cost, 3D patch antenna printing equipment (Jun et al, 2017) in that calculation of construction costs in terms of both the production property and goods on-site and offsite was also helpful (Yang et al, 2018), even the 'carbomorph' can be used to print electronic sensors capable of sensing mechanical flexing and ability changes (Leigh et al, 2012).…”

The novelty of Three Dimensional (3D) technologies for modeling and printing robotics parts are increasingly popular. In order to use 3D technologies in designing modern social humanoid robots and to draw convincing concluding remarks for other researchers' references, we need to critically incorporate various latest works available in the field of 3D printing and humanoid robotics. The basic principle behind 3D-printing is that it permits the creation of complex artefacts in the simplest possible way. Thus, the aim of this study is to critically evaluate the role of 3D-technologies for developing modern social robots in humanoid robotics. The research methodology is systematic review the relevant literatures on Web of Science and Scopus. Two large literature databases were screened to get the latest 3D print research and applications in modern social robots. As a result, 61 articles were analyzed, discussed and reviewed. We investigated and compared the use of 3D printing for various purposes such as humanoid robots, social robot models, hybrid robot projects and social robot auxiliaries. The finding leads to the design principles that contribute to the home-built 3D printed humanoid robot by adding all the dimensions together, following the principles of social robotics. Future research will revolve around these definitions for the applied role of 3D technology in modern social robotics and to develop a low-cost proto-type of 3D printed humanoid robot, which will be reported in another paper.
