Taking into the consideration the whole entrepreneurial cycle, the innovation is the most sensitive factor that determines the products giving to them the ＂soul＂ and in most cases separating successful from unsuccessful ones on the market. In the era of global market, competitiveness became one of the most important factors for each company. Within an enterprise, the engineers are those who are qualified and responsible to take care about the competitiveness of the products that company produce. They have to be introduced not just about the technology in sense of ＂how to made smt.＂, but even rather ＂bow to make the better product than others＂. ＂Better＂ could be involved in product various characteristics as quality, functionality, durability and any other ones which will convince the customer to buy it. The engineers should be more focused on the ＂value＂ involved in the product rather than on its ＂materialization＂, simply because the customers buy the value for him/her. By neglecting innovation, companies become just a simple economy subjects, without entrepreneurial elements, losing competitiveness and endanger their future. In long-term perspective, the permanent innovations implemented in the products and services as well as in the production process enable companies to became or remain competitive on the market.展开更多

AM can be considered as one of the latest innovative processes, as a state-of-the-art development, in manufacturing industries. AM is expressed as the future of the products and localization of the manufacturing processes in some studies. Innovation is a key factor both for firms and consumer products or service output. And, in today＇s competitive environment, it compels all the partners for R ＆ D activities to provide technological development. But, all the partners come to a parting of the ways of disruptive or sustainable innovation. It can be said that furniture manufacturing by AM method is relatively new. Non-industrial use of the AM in furniture production can be stated as one of the latest innovative development. Thereby, this study reviews how AM is used to produce furniture within applied projects, which materials and methods are used for production and suggests its future impact.展开更多
