3D Printing as Fourth Industrial
Revolution
Different 3D printing techniques have varying
degrees of accuracy when it comes to
reproducing parts with the correct
dimensions.
The
kind
of
additive
manufacturing technology used has a
significant impact on a part's accuracy even
though other factors also contribute to
additional variation.
Its benefits
The adoption of 3D printing will offer users a
number of benefits. First off, 3D printers make it
simple to create really complex items. According
to D'Aveni (2015), this technology also lengthens
the product development cycle as people may
simply modify designs and iterate the process
until the desired product is produced. Since
almost all raw materials may be used in the
manufacturing process, 3D printing has the
important benefit of increasing efficiency
Impacts on Manufacturing
The manufacturing environment will change
significantly as a result of 3Dprinting
technology. Due to the removal of the high
capital requirements that have typically
stopped new entrants from joining, 3D
printers will result in more competition as
more manufacturers emerge. To maintain
their competitive advantages, manufacturers
will be compelled to innovate and offer
specialised products
