Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has arrived and is changing a philisophy of “management.” A 3D-printed product is made from a powder or resin and can virtually shape any item from a digital graphics file. This new printing device, however, poses several unforeseen questions. The 3D printing technology calls for time and cost considerations. Once a private firm actually begins to operationalize the new technology, it will have to measure both merit and demerit in terms of a ‘before-and after adaptation’ perspective, in addition to a future prospect of further advantages the device might bring. Similarly, perhaps this is the most important, the use of this new technology might part away with the significant role and function of the core technology in production of different matters. Considering these topics, this study attempts to focus on the 3D printing technology and its influence on technology management. It specifically discusses the impact of 3D printing technology applied to manufacturing companies on their cost, time, quality and activities. To answer this question, a cost structure is developed using the IDKKH method. The cost calculation is also considered using the Cost-Matrix method. After making model and matrix, possibilities are shown as research collaborators and outsourcing selection to organize with the concept of technology management. Through these analyses, problems are clarified, and the discussions indicate the results of introducing 3D printing technology, R & D innovation, and technology management
