Business Models For Additive Manufacturing
Recent Advances
Technological advances have led to dramatic gains in
efficiency and expanded aplications in a wide range of areas.
Faster, more precise pinter heads; faster powder deposition;
continuos liquid interface production and emerging business models
Emerging Business Models: The mosst important
decision is the business model. These models can be used by
both B2B businesses.
Mass standardization
Model attacks traditional
manufacturing's home turf.
The technologu is still emerging in this are,
but it could become a game changer.
Once you've gained capabilities in additive,
you can apply it in a variety of competitive situations.
Mass variety
This odel targets customers who have
strong and varying preferences but don't need
products andjested to their personal specifications.
With mass variety, the main competitive challenge is mananging choice.
Manufactures will have to watch the market carrefully
or use machine learning to continually sense and respond to
whatconsumers want.
Mass Customization
This model takes productvairation to the extreme. Mass
customization is suitable for any large market in which customers are dissatisfied.
The electronics are still added separately, but that could soon change, given that it's now possible to print them directly into the shell.
The main competitive challenge is to reduce the cost of acquiring individual customer's information.
Mass segmentation
This model greatly llimits variety, offering only a few dozen versions of a product to customers whose needs are less variable and easier to predict.
This model is also suitable for seasonal, cyclical, of short-term fad markeys, which are tough for traditional manufacturers to
serve because they ust bet on what consumer will eant several months in the future.
The main compertitive challenge here lies
in deciding in the size of each segment and the number
of segments to serve.
Mass modularization
Rather than offering customers different
version of a product, this model involves selling a 3-D printed body with inerchangeable modules for insertion.
Here's another appication: a smarphone that allows customers to buy a base unit's exoskeletons in printed in customized ergonomic.
Traditional manufacturers in a range of areas already offer modular products.
Mass complexity
Take advantage of additive's flexibility to
make a variety od product version at low cost.
Exploits its ability to make products with intricate designs
that conventional manufacturing can't achieve and to produce unusual shapes and embed sensors and other elements.
With new design software emerging, aditive manufacturing can now restructure material at the micro level to improve proerties such a porosity, strenght, elasticity.
