A chapter in Technical, Economic and Societal Effects of Manufacturing 4.0, 2020, pp 131-148 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses two real-world cases of how additive manufacturing can be used in enhancing results in heart surgery and in cutting costs in the business of maintenance and refurbishing metal dies, both without a radical change in the business model. In addition to the two real-world cases we present a vision of how additive manufacturing technologies, together with predictive analytics, digitalization, and a high level of international networking could revolutionize the business models of international maintenance service businesses.
