Sažetak
Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies are perceived amongst best options to handle the disruptions in many industries as offering unique capabilities that may also benefit automative industries. Despite significant pressure to adopt new methods and technologies for quick recovery in a post-Covid scenario, empirical evidence has highlighted that only a partial AM adoption has been achieved by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers. The purpose of this paper is to understand the factors that inhibit or constrain thorough AM adoption, and in doing so both technical and non-technical barriers are considered. Through a detailed appraisal of the literature, author identifies that previous attempts to discover technology adoption barriers demonstrate encouraging results with regard to the adoption of new technologies. However, the review also reflects the fact that limited work has been done to explore the level of AM adoption within the automotive supply chain and the specific technical and non-technical barriers for automotive industry to enable them to appropriately adopt Additive Manufacturing. These shortcomings will be addressed in the present study.
