Technology in Society, 2024, vol. 77, issue C

Abstract: •Only benefit and risk barriers affect active resistance to 3D printing.•Benefit, economic and complexity barriers associated to 3D printing decrease the intentions to adopt this technology.•We find 3 clusters of passive resistance-type users (situational, low and dual passive resistance users) for 3D printing.•Theoretically, these findings contribute to a further general understanding of active and passive resistance to innovation.•Managerially, these findings suggest overcoming passive resistance and then, benefit and risk barriers on active resistance.
