Annotation

The supply chain and logistics industry has been majorly impacted with 3D printing technology and is growing with its use. However, there are claims regarding use of the technology that helps to analyze the technology more briefly. The credentials from the author shows that there are areas where disruption of 3D printing technologywill impact supply chain. The functions and operations of supply chain will be impacted hugely by the technology. The summary of key findings and themes are that future of 3D printing technology in supply chain is great. The 3D printing technology should be evaluated prior to implementation in terms of flexibility and adaptability. There are seven areas in supply chain which will be impacted by the use of the technology. The research has been conducted through analyzing the impact of 3D printing technology in seven key areas in supply chain. The usefulness is that it is used to identify and understand the areas in supply chain that will be impacted. The other usefulness is the identification of future opportunities of the technology in supply chain. The limitation is that the paper does not provide practical aspects of 3D printing technology in supply chain. The other limitation is that there are no brief description of the technology in supply chain that need to be taken into account for future opportunities.

Recommendation

The recommendations are that it practical aspects should be taken to briefly understand the impact of 3D printing technology in supply chain. The key questions are left open for future research to manage the technology and description of drawbacks must be included.

Annotation

The 3D printers has benefits of additive process where addition is achieved through different processes. The 3D printers are affordable and has found place in every industry whether technical or non-technical, individual consumers and in homes. The author credentials shows that 3D printers impact the non-technical industries in the same way that it impacts any other technical industries. The impact of 3D printers are not limited to only industries, it has impacted homes and individuals as well. The summary of key findings are that impact of 3D printers will emerge questions for policy makers from standpoints of ethics. The future of 3D printers shows that it will open up major opportunities for business improvement in non-technical industries. The other findings are that the analysis of 3D printers for non-technical industries and how it will influence their working operations. The research has been conducted through analysis of 3D printer’s features and working process in non-technical industries. The usefulness are that not only the technical industries but also the non-technical industries has been evaluated to understand their working process. The future opportunities are shown to understand how 3D printer will shape in future. The limitations are that legal and ethical considerations related to 3D printers are not analyzed briefly.

Recommendation

The recommendations are that legal and ethical considerations regarding 3D printers should be taken to analyze any future risks. This will help to identify the issues that can arise if 3D printers are not handled properly, hence, with proper strategies it should be managed.
