Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Dissertations
Additive Manufacturing technologies fabricate 3D objects layer by layer following a predesigned CAD model. Owing to the unique layer-wise production method, additive manufacturing offers competitive advantages in comparison with traditional subtractive manufacturing, such as shortened production time, increased design freedom, improved manufacturing capability and complexity, and reduced manufacturing waste. Numerous research studies have been conducted to design, understand, and improve additive manufacturing technologies in order to facilitate the implementation in the supply chain. On the other hand, with the rapid growth of additive manufacturing, sustainability issues that exist on both process level and supply chain level have started to receive …
