Abstract
Mass customization aim to achieve customized product at a rate similar to mass production rate. Additive manufacturing (AM), an advanced manufacturing method, is capable of producing customized product, no matter the complexity simply, by adding materials layer after layer and building of the part in one unit. Unlike in traditional manufacturing process where a complex part needs to be broken down to smaller units and then assembled at a later stage, AM produces a complex part directly from the computer aided design (CAD) model of the part by adding materials in layers as against material removal in the traditional manufacturing process. Consumer product is moving from standardized product to customized product. For manufacturing companies to be able to keep up with this demand trend; there is a need for manufacturing process that deliver. This study looks at how AM can be used to achieve customized product with mass production efficiency.
