10 The emergence of bioprinting How did additive manufacturing technologies become to be applied for the printing of living cells and organs? Source: Explaining the Future Who are the key actors responsible for this emergence? How do the companies active in this area shape their commercial proposition around these technologies? Theresia Röther What are the benefits of additive manufacturing for mass customisation? What are the examples of additive manufacturing used in industry for mass customisation? How have these applications emerged? Source: Ponoko What are the technical and economic considerations of implementing AM for industrial mass customisation? Dominik Deradjat 10

11 The adoption of 3D printing for dental implants How is the dental industry using additive manufacturing technologies? Source: EOS LS for dental bridges How has application of 3D printing diffused throughout the dental industry? How has the introduction of 3D printing technologies affected the configuration of the industry? Adrian Moskala The disruptive effect of 3D printing in snowsports 3D printing allows for the personalisation of goods to the human body How is 3D printing being adopted in the snowsports industry? What are the barriers to the further adoption of 3D printing technologies? Debbie Thackray 11

12 3D printing of luxury goods Luxury goods are traditionally based on qualities of craftsmanship and rarity How are 3D printing technologies being used in the luxury goods market?
