Abstract
Future factories will feature strong integration of physical machines and cyber‐enabled software, working seamlessly to improve manufacturing production efficiency. This efficiency gains also translates to shortening the product development and manufacturing lifecycle leading towards the realization of personalized manufacturing. MaaS is the shared use of networked manufacturing infrastructure to deliver manufacturing resources on-demand while maximizing capacity utilization and reducing costs to produce prototype and production grade one-off products. Two technologies are enabling the growth of MaaS – 1) Search engines provide the ability for product designers to easily find and match relevant manufacturing services with specific product manufacturing data contained within the digital models; 2) Two-sided manufacturing service platforms that aim to connect client orders with independent service providers. This presentation will shed light on these enabling technologies, the scientific and technology challenges that remain and if solved, the potential impact it will have on the broader society.
