Many industry analysts believe we are entering an era disruptive to manufacturing, which is likened to a Fourth Industrial Revolution and will be ushered in with technology like 3D printing and additive manufacturing. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive case study was to explore the current use of three-dimensional (3D) printing and inhibitors and enablers in small-to-medium sized manufacturing and parts production. A qualitative methodology was used in this research to develop an explanation and gain a deeper understanding of the experiences and perspectives of the sample population. Sample group representatives from Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado, participated in semi-structured, open-ended interviews, with questions directed to discuss both the inhibitors and enablers to the use of 3D printing and additive manufacturing. A qualitative analysis took place that revealed eight major tactical themes and three additional strategic findings that act as inhibitors and enablers to the use of 3D printing and additive manufacturing. The eight themes that emerged were as follows: investment costs, access to trained workers, prototyping, part complexity and customization, part quantities, part qualities, speed of production, and materials considerations. Additional findings included production workflow and lights-out manufacturing, knowledgebase and perception issues, and risk management and precipitating events. The result of this qualitative case study may help industry as a whole to understand the issues of inhibitors and enablers to the use of 3D printing and additive manufacturing in manufacturing.
