In particular, Dynamically Reconfigurable Embedded Systems, which exploit the advances in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology, facilitate customisation of their hardware resources during runtime to meet the demands of executing applications.
Privacy preferences and controls can be made part-and-parcel of the process of individual customisation – built-in to the technology's operation.
It is commonly acknowledged that increased customisation can facilitate the introduction of technology within user work practices [ 49- 53], so the finding that the relatively inflexible nature of Lorenzo resulted in unintended workarounds is probably not surprising [ 21- 23, 54].
Additionally, due to the nature of SLS and SLA, the build time per device decreases significantly as the number of devices being fabricated in each "run" of the machine increases, making devices suitable for mass customisation an ideal candidate for these technologies.
Jesse Toprak, president of the auto analyst Toprak Consulting, said the car firms were pushing hard to attract millennials by linking cars to online technology and improving styling and customisation.
Our objective is to provide evidence on the use of additive manufacturing technologies as enablers for mass customisation and to provide practitioners in industry with guidelines for decision-making on how to install and ramp-up mass customisation production with these technologies.
Designs can be quickly changed, so the technology enables flexible production and mass customisation.
As blogs, social networks and video platforms have enabled people to produce information and customise their content, new technologies will make possible energy self-production and customisation of energy usages and consumption.
To enable mass customisation regarding the shape of these parts, new manufacturing technologies are needed.
This paper aims to (1) compare implementation considerations and challenges for metal and polymer rapid manufacturing (i.e. the use of additive manufacturing technologies for final part production) for mass customisation and (2) derive decision trees for firms seeking to implement such an approach.
