Preface
This volume attempts to grasp the current rise of 3D printing and discuss the technology’s impact on the future of value creation, which we assume will reveal increasingly decentralized and networked properties. The initial motivation for this joint endeavor came about in a research project conducted by the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IOEW) with generous financial support from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF; grant number: 16/1615). Situated at the intersection of decentralized production technologies and sustainable consumption patterns, the project clearly revealed the many facets of 3D printing and multiple social and organizational innovations that accompany the proliferation of this technology. The contributions in this book take up these facets as starting
