Infos

This edited book serves to unify the current state of knowledge for 3D printing /

Additive Manufacturing and its impact on manufacturing operations. Bringing

together leading experts from across the operations and supply chain disciplines

the contributions offer a concise, accessible, and focused text for researchers and

practitioners alike. Showing how 3DP can be implemented in a multitude of business

models, the book explores how to manage 3DP both in the production environment

and wider supply chain.

Daniel Eyers is Senior Lecturer in Manufacturing Systems Management at Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University, UK. He is Chartered Engineer with extensive industry experience, and he draws upon this in much of his interdisciplinary work. Daniel's research focuses on the implications of advanced manufacturing technologies for operations and supply chain management, and for over a decade this has explicitly focused on 3D printing / Additive Manufacturing.
