“…Other applications include injection mould trials using the EOS Alumide material (de Beer et al, 2005a), and the development of novel RT process chains for large sand casting components (Dimitrov et al, 2007a(Dimitrov et al, , 2007b. The use of RP technologies have increased the fidelity of physical models in terms of aesthetics, ergonomics and functionality.…”

Type of Paper General Review PurposeIn a previous Rapid Prototyping Journal paper, the authors reviewed the first decade of Rapid Prototyping (RP) use within the Republic of South Africa (RSA). The paper analysed its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and proposed a "road-map" for future development. Much has happened in the intervening years since that article was published and this paper seeks to update readers on the current situation in RSA. In particular, it reports the extensive development of research in the field of RP and Additive Manufacturing (AM). MethodologyThe paper uses a literature review approach combined with reflective analysis to distill the most important developments within the RP community in RSA since 2004. These are compared to the previous road-map to ascertain if there are any required actions that have been overlooked or any additional lessons that have been learnt. FindingsThe paper shows that there has been good progress against the previous road-map and that current plans should remain in place with the addition of a greater educational dimension. Practical ImplicationsThis paper provides readers with an overview of important RP/AM developments in the RSA.The analysis from this the paper will aid RSA academics, industrialists and government agencies to assess their performance and to plan for their future roles within the RP community. ValueAs with the previous paper, this article provides a useful model for other countries to follow since it demonstrates both good practice but also the need to learn from past experience.

“…(e) Approaches and Tools that enable the acceleration of NPD process is also an emerging issue. de Beer, Booysen, Barnard, and Truscott [104] [56], and Fagerstorm and Jackson [109] explored the collaboration aspects of SME's NPD process. The elaboration of tools and techniques is important when conducting NPD process design for SME.…”

New product development (NPD) is essential for large, as well as small and medium, enterprises (SMEs). Despite its importance for the economy, challenges remain in the NPD in SMEs. Product success is related with the NPD process, so it is important for SMEs to be able to design their NPD process. This paper aims to identify SME’s NPD research topics, the characteristics of the NPD process in SMEs, and important aspects to be considered for NPD process design. The literature review is done with the analysis of 99 selected academic articles from Scopus and ScienceDirect. Content analysis, bibliographic analysis, and clustering method (based on Pearson’s correlation coefficient) are used to conduct the identification. Less-formal processes, informal strategic planning, limited resources, need technology support, and lack of capabilities in certain fields are some of the characteristics of SME’s NPD. Collaborative product development, competitive advantage, information and communication technology (ICT), concurrent engineering, quality function deployment, and continuous improvement are important keywords based on previous research in SME’s NPD. Design activities in NPD, collaboration and source of innovation, and process modelling, tools, and techniques appear to be important aspects related with the SME’s NPD process.

“…Research and experience show that one of the well-known roadblocks in the innovation process [14], [23] is the so-called VOD, which describes how R&D projects, originating from basic scientific research, fail to reach commercialization/application. The notion of a 'VOD' is so pervasive in industry that the term appears somewhat matter-of-facty in engineering and manufacturing literature [13]- [16], as many new products simply disappear in the product development VOD, partly due to manufacturing costs, and limited product development budgets, coordination problems, and an inability to secure funding in order to progress to the next level of innovation. This study makes two important contributions.…”

Crossing the Valley of Death—An Integrated Framework and a Value Chain for Emerging Technologies

The paper develops an integrated technology-push and market-pull framework, and a value chain model for crossing the Valley of Death (VOD-the gap between laboratory and market) for emerging technologies, based on primary and secondary data analyses and a survey conducted on European research and development projects. The study uses a case of micro and nanomanufacturing technology (MNT) and confirms the existence of the VOD through the survey data analysis. A mixed-methods approach was adopted which investigated the business and technical challenges to the commercialization of MNT. A notable finding is that the emerging MNT often does not have a direct link with market demand and the result suggests that an intermediary role between advanced technology and market demand should be integrated to act as coordinator for overcoming the VOD. The paper also examines how an intermediary is crucial to escape the VOD, within the value chain of the interdependent relationships between actors.
