Purpose

This paper reviews research on the intersection between additive manufacturing technologies (AMTs) and business models (BM). The purpose of the review is to synthesize past research for the benefit of researchers, to describe the dominant research themes and aggregated research questions and to identify research gaps in the literature.

Design/methodology/approach

A systematic literature review of secondary data was conducted. The 288 publications in the review appeared in peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings papers and book chapters. All publications are listed in this paper by publication year and publication source. The review also distinguishes between empirical and non-empirical studies, describes methodological approaches and categorizes the publications by unit of analysis and by theme.

Findings

Research on the intersection between AMT and BM, which has increased significantly in the last three years, reflects firms' and industries' growing interest in digital manufacturing processes. This review identifies twelve dominant themes in the literature that contribute important insights to the field. Aggregated research questions are identified in each theme. Research advances and gaps are presented. Four themes relate directly to BM: (1) BM types, (2) BM and technology, (3) BM design and processes and (4) BM value and supply chains.

Originality/value

This review is the first systematic literature review on the intersection between AMT and BM. As such, the review provides a guide for researchers as they explore gaps in the research and develop research questions on an aggregated level. The review also supports users of such technologies as they review their business practices and models in the so-called Digital Revolution.

增材制造技术和商业模式–系统的文献综述

目的

本文回顾了关于增材制造技术（AMT）与业务模型（BM）之间的相交的研究。综述的目的是为了使研究人员受益，总结过去的研究，描述主要的研究主题和汇总的研究问题，并找出文献中的研究空白。

设计/方法/方法

对二级数据进行了系统的文献综述。这篇评论中的288种出版物出现在同行评审的期刊文章，会议论文和书籍章节中。本文按出版年份和出版物来源列出了所有出版物。该综述还区分了实证研究和非实证研究，描述了方法论方法，并按分析单位和主题对出版物进行了分类。

发现

对AMT和BM之间的交叉点的研究在最近三年中显着增加，反映出公司和行业对数字制造过程的兴趣日益增长。这篇综述确定了文献中对该领域有重要见解的十二个主要主题。在每个主题中确定了汇总的研究问题。介绍了研究进展和差距。与BM直接相关的四个主题是：（1）BM类型，（2）BM和技术，（3）BM设计和过程以及（4）BM价值和供应链。

创意/价值

这篇综述是关于AMT与BM交叉的第一篇系统文献综述。因此，本综述为研究人员探索研究差距并汇总研究问题提供了指南。该审查还支持此类技术的用户在所谓的“数字革命”中审查其业务实践和模型。
