Exploring 3D printing technology in the context of product-service innovation: case study of a business venture in south of France

This study explores the novelty of 3D printing technology in the context of product-service innovation. 3D printing, officially known as additive manufacturing, is one of the flagship technologies within the new industrial revolution and Industry 4.0 scholar discourse. However, there is an evident lack of empirical studies that explore the characteristics of consumer-level 3D printing technology in the contexts of servitisation of manufacturing, digital transformations and business model innovations. This literature gap motivated our study where we question how entrepreneurs develop their business strategies for challenging 3D printing market, whilst also discussing the servitisation features of 3D printing technology. Our findings are drawn from a single case study of a company that pioneered 3D printing in south of France, with a mixture of 3D printing products and services as their core business portfolio. Contributions of this study are directed towards scholar discussions dealing with the consumer segment of 3D printing market, servitisation theory, as well as providing useful insights for stakeholders interested in business ventures with 3D printing technology.

Social Entrepreneurs' Use of Fab Labs and 3D Printing in South Africa and Kenya

This article outlines findings from a study in South Africa and Kenya that explored social entrepreneurs' use of fabrication laboratories (fab labs), and in particular fab lab 3D printing services, in order to advance their social innovations and enterprises. Based on interviews with representatives of fab lab initiatives and social enterprises, the study found strong linkages between social entrepreneurship and fab labs, and between social entrepreneurs and the use of 3D printing technology. However, it was also found that social entrepreneurs tend not to rely primarily on fab labs for access to 3D printers, preferring to buy and build their own printer units-a practice made cost-effective through the selection of low-cost, open source models. In respect of the computer-aided design (CAD) software used to design the files for 3D printing, it was found that social entrepreneurs prefer the stability and user-friendliness of proprietary CAD software, despite the cost implications. At the same time, it was found that social entrepreneurs frequently use free and open source CAD files available online, and that they seek, in turn, to share their designs on a free and open source basis.

Modeling of Cloud 3D Printing Service Hyper-Network in Service-Oriented Manufacturing Systems

According to the theory of a complex network, the overall characteristics are derived from complex interactions among its components, that is, network structure. For its service network, its overall characteristics are its functions. In view of the coordinated linkage between the 3D printing industry and the logistics industry, 3D printing is deeply integrated with Internet technology, digital casting technology and Internet + service platforms. We propose a hyper-network model of raw material suppliers, semi-finished product processors and finished product manufacturers that realize on-demand customization. To analyse, design, and build the cloud 3D printing manufacturing capability service competition network, we propose a 3D printing service node structure model based on a super network using a reference and cloud manufacturing service model. The model's mathematical structure is given in detail. Under this condition, it is necessary to discuss the interaction between the logistics service level, productivity level and product processing quantity. The process of the proposed model and method is given, and the validity is proven with a case study of a Cloud 3D printing service hyper-network in service-oriented manufacturing systems.

3D Printing Spare Parts via IP Licensing Contracts

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has the potential to shift supply chains from global networks that rely on centralized production with traditional manufacturing technologies to mainly digital networks with distributed, local printing. Particularly well positioned to drive this transition are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who design and produce capital goods. We consider an OEM supplying a single part to multiple buyers over an infinite horizon. We study how the OEM can digitize the spare parts supply chain by leveraging 3D printing via intellectual property (IP) licensing. We first set up a benchmark model of the traditional physical supply chain with centralized production by the OEM. We then propose the OEM to act as an IP licensor by selling spare parts designs, rather than physical parts. With the license agreement, a buyer can print parts locally through a third-party printing service provider, enjoying a shorter lead time and lower setup cost. Given a license, each buyer chooses whether to switch to the IP licensing channel or stay in the traditional channel. The OEM selects the license terms to maximize the total profit across both channels. We characterize the OEM’s optimal license and the resulting supply chain configuration. We show that 3D printing’s competency in price plays a dominant role in production decentralization. The conventional wisdom that 3D printing is suitable for slow moving parts holds only when it is competent along several dimensions. In a numerical experiment with realistic parameter settings, decentralized production occurs in a surprisingly large number of cases, and the proposed new business model can significantly increase the OEM’s profit. Our results indicate that IP licensing by OEMs can become a major enabler in the transition to digital supply networks with distributed 3D printing, benefiting all parties involved.

Retrospective analysis of a sustainable 3D printing service in an academic library

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the sustainability of an academic library 3D printing service. Originally intended to introduce students to an emerging technology, the 3D printing service at the University of Florida (UF) libraries expanded to support teaching, learning and research, allowing faculty, staff and students to engage in the maker movement. Design/methodology/approach This paper analyzed usage data collected by the library’s 3D printing service from April 2014 through March 2018. These data include the number of prints produced, amount of filament consumed, user academic demographics and whether it is for academic assignments, research or personal projects. Findings The data show that the initial 3D printing service users were predominantly engineering students; however, over the four-year period, the service has built up a consistent and diverse user base and expanded the number and types of printers. With grants covering the purchase of the 3D printers and a modest charge for printing ($0.15 per gram of model weight), the 3D printing service has achieved a sustainable level. Originality/value UF was one of the first academic libraries to offer 3D printing services and has collected four years of data to evaluate the sustainability of the service. These data demonstrate that the service is a valuable and sustainable asset, allowing students and researchers to visualize and innovate in such diverse fields as anthropology, archaeology, art, biology, chemistry and mathematics.

A tailor-made learning environment workspace for generation y graduates using product service system concept

This paper presents a workspace design of a tailor-made learning environment for students using the product-service systems (PSS) concept. Existing research regarding workspace design focuses on the design of the interior of classrooms to ensure that the learning process proceeds with minimum stress and maximum effectiveness. None of the current research had discussed the workspace outside of the classroom. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to propose a learning environment workspace in which students can gather, study, relax, socialize, eat, and work during class gaps. For this purpose, a questionnaire was distributed to identify the behavior of the users to generate a list of requirements in the development of the learning workspace. This paper focused on students at the Engineering Faculty and the learning environment workspace was called the OneForAll Center. Out of 10 functions of the proposed OneForAll Center, only four functions had the highest priority: a space to use a laptop and internet connection, a television, a vending machine and a printing section. The OneForAll Center has been illustrated in a 3D model and shown to the students, in which most of them agreed with the proposed services and facilities such as a space to use the laptop and internet connection and a printing section with a printing service. The OneForAll Center has been identified as a solution to improve learning outside the classroom, specifically to the provision of services to students.

Automated Pay and Use Browsing and Printing Machine

The existing system function as a multiple unit like computer setup and printing unit is fixed at different location and an intermediate person will be there to do the printing process. The existing system faces some difficulties like structure is not compact, all the units are installed at a different location, Customer needs 24*7 service, but the service is not available in all the times. The service timing is limited up to the availability of the labor. The Automated pay and use browsing, and printing machine is a type of vending machine which performs 24*7 browsing and printing service. The system can be implemented in the public places, educational institutions etc. The setup works on the time-based control system based on the amount paid as the input for browsing and printing separately. The main controller is the Raspberry Pi which controls and monitors the complete browsing and printing process. The separate coin collector device is interfaced with it to collect the amount for browsing and printing service. A continuous monitoring is done through IoT which helps to monitor the machine 24*7 which provides data like number of printout taken, browsing time. This makes the performance monitoring process easy

Modeling of polygraphic web-service using colored Petri nets

The use of Petri Networks as a tool for graphical and mathematical modeling of complex systems and processes has recently been widespread. Visual representation techniques and simulations, such as Petri colored networks, are effective at the development stage of complex systems, since they allow formally to describe and model the system at different levels of abstraction and investigate them dynamically. An example of a dynamic system is web-services. Web services and their components can interact with different applications that meet the standards of web services. As a rule, one service does not meet the needs of users, and services are becoming more and more complex. In fact, a modern web service is created by combining different web services and their components to create a component service that offers a set of new functional services. When combining and sharing Web services the most critical is the interaction of Web services and their components among themselves, which requires a detailed study of the functioning of the processes and modeling their behavior to improve their efficiency.Polygraphic web-service is a complex program system that organizes the provision of printing services. It works with the client through the Internet and provides an opportunity to find the necessary service at the printing centers for the best possible means, to make an order, to use various services, to pay for services, to choose a means of payment and delivery of printed products. The complex structure of the web-service requires the study and modeling of the interaction of its components to ensure the effectiveness of the operation.To model the composite web service system, it is necessary to identify the main and auxiliary subsystems by means of structural analysis. The block diagram of a web-service is presented in fig. 1. As a structural analysis tool, we used a data flow diagram (DFD) in the notation of a similar Heine-Sarson notation. A top-level contextual chart contains a set of subsystems connected by data streams.A model of a polygraphic web-service in the form of Petri's network in a hierarchical form was developed and presented for the purpose of analysis of separate networks of the second level. This enables to analyze all parts of the network separately and use the results to formulate conclusions about the correctness of the construction of the entire network. In the presence of links between networks of the second level, it is necessary to add additional criteria for the analysis of networks, which are connected with the addition of the main network of cities and transitions between networks of the second level, the number of which depends on the number of possible states of interaction between networks of the second level.

In-campus student and staff are allowed to register as service provider (SP) and they can view and accept order via this webbased system. The system are able to display and show requests by customers while the service providers can select the requests and provide proper service to them. Furthermore, the system should have limitless availability of access, compared to the current printing request process.

Network-based pricing for 3D printing services in two-sided manufacturing-as-a-service marketplace

PurposeThis paper presents approaches to determine a network-based pricing for 3D printing services in the context of a two-sided manufacturing-as-a-service marketplace. The purpose of this study is to provide cost analytics to enable service bureaus to better compete in the market by moving away from setting ad hoc and subjective prices.Design/methodology/approachA data mining approach with machine learning methods is used to estimate a price range based on the profile characteristics of 3D printing service suppliers. The model considers factors such as supplier experience, supplier capabilities, customer reviews and ratings from past orders and scale of operations, among others, to estimate a price range for suppliers’ services. Data were gathered from existing marketplace websites, which were then used to train and test the model.FindingsThe model demonstrates an accuracy of 65 per cent for US-based suppliers and 59 per cent for Europe-based suppliers to classify a supplier’s 3D printer listing in one of the seven price categories. The improvement over baseline accuracy of 25 per cent demonstrates that machine learning-based methods are promising for network-based pricing in manufacturing marketplacesOriginality/valueConventional methodologies for pricing services through activity-based costing are inefficient in strategically priced 3-D printing service offering in a connected marketplace. As opposed to arbitrarily determining prices, this work proposes an approach to determine prices through data mining methods to estimate competitive prices. Such tools can be built into online marketplaces to help independent service bureaus to determine service price rates.

HypothesisUse of computer-assisted virtual surgical procedures and 3D printing of patient-specific pre-contoured plates reduce the operative time and blood loss in bi-columnar acetabular fracture fixation. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 52 bi-columnar acetabular fracture cases treated surgically in our department from January 2013 to January 2017. According to the patients’ willingness to accept 3D printing services, 52 patients were divided into groups A and B. In group A (28 patients), computer-assisted virtual surgical procedures and 3D printing of patient-specific pre-contoured plates were adopted. In group B (24 patients), the conventional method was adopted. Fracture type, operative blood loss, surgical time, complications, radiographic quality of reduction, and hip function were compared between groups. All patients were operated by the same surgeon. ResultsThe real surgical procedure of all patients in group A was almost identical to the preoperative virtual operation. Operative time and intra-operative blood loss were significantly reduced in group A than in group B (P<0.05), while the postoperative fracture reduction quality and hip function obtained slightly higher levels of satisfaction in group A. ConclusionsComputer-assisted virtual surgical procedures, 3D printing technology and patient-specific pre-contoured plates can reduce the operative time and blood loss with less surgical invasiveness and ensure completely satisfactory clinical outcomes. However, promotion of this technology requires additional work. Level of evidenceIII, therapeutic study.
