Overcoming implementation barriers in 3D printing for gaining positive influence considering PEST environment

The transformational potential of 3D printing within the manufacturing industry has been widely recognized. However, its widespread adoption faces significant practical challenges that extend beyond the technology itself, encompassing political, economic, social, and technical (PEST) factors. This r...
