Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide an outlook on the future state of manufacturing in developed countries pertaining to supply chain management concerns. Supply chain demands and challenges are identified that stem from a predicted higher concentration of 3D printing and innovative production knowledge in localised innovative manufacturing clusters. The supply chain challenge is termed coopetition, which highlights the need for companies to collaborate and compete simultaneously depending on the market segment. This chapter further argues that 3D printing has the potential to become a key enabler for the circular economy model: tackling domestic waste issues via local manufacturing clusters. However, a major reconfiguration of the domestic supply chain structure including enhanced transparency of the waste material flow patterns is required to capitalise on the opportunity.
