Considering former two topics, this study attempts to focus on 3D printing technology
and its influence on manufacturing industries. It specifically discusses the impact of 3D
printing technology applied to manufacturing companies on their cost, time, and activities. To
answer this question, a cost structure is developed using the integrated definition for function
modeling (IDEF0) process modeling method. The cost calculation is also considered using
the cost-matrix method. Through these analyses, problems related to the target manufacturing
company are clarified, and the discussions indicate the results of introducing 3D printing
technology.
