The tools to create the world we live in are changing substantially. The digital age is about to penetrate into manufacturing practice. Machines and products become virtually connected and new manufacturing technologies, commonly subsumed under
the term 3D printing, hold out the prospect of great flexibility in regards to production footprints and product customisation. These developments call today's traditional structures of product-making industries, which are primarily based on the concept of centralised fabrication, into question. This volume collects contributions of multiple disciplines such as economics, production
management, logistics, mechanical engineering, and information technology
aiming to present a holistic view on a digital manufacturing future including socioeconomic impacts of these new technologies.
