The cost of additive manufacturing: machine productivity, economies of scale and technology-push (2016, background): “…are mostly confined to large and centralised manufacturing plants, it has been argued that the wide-scale adoption of AM would diminish the importance of such economies of scale and enable the decentralisation of manufacturing to points of consumption (D’Aveni, 2013; Petrick and Simpson, 2014).”
