Popis: This paper deals with an overview of additive manufacturing and its segment - 3D printing, which is today rapidly and widely used (Agashe et al., 2020) for personal and high-capacity production. The paper discusses the possible positive factors such as small and personalized production series, cheaper design and production process, complex geometry, bionic structures (whose surfaces are complicated to make, and are copy of biological organisms) and negative factors such as lack of educated specialists and trainings. Those facts are affecting the implementation of these technologies in different segments of the design, product development and furniture production. The impacts of new technologies on the design and production of rapid prototypes and finished products in furniture industry are analyzed. The positive results of using additive manufacturing indicate that, in spite of minor obstacles and problems with connecting different production processes, additive production will have a significant place in the future of furniture design and production. The most important advantages of 3D printing is fast prototyping, one piece production, free form designing and the use of bio-based materials and their possibility of recycling.
U radu se opisuje aditivna tehnologija 3D printanja koja se danas ubrzano i široko primjenjuje (Agashe et al., 2020.) u maloj i industrijskoj proizvodnji. U radu se opisuju mogući pozitivni čimbenici kao što su male i personalizirane proizvodne serije, jeftiniji dizajn i proizvodni proces, složena geometrija, bioničke strukture (površine složene za izradu, a kopije su bioloških organizama), ali i negativni čimbenici poput nedostatka obuke i educiranih stručnjaka. Navedeni čimbenici utječu na implementaciju tih tehnologija u različitim segmentima dizajna, razvoja proizvoda i proizvodnje namještaja. Analizirani su utjecaji novih tehnologija na dizajn i proizvodnju brzih prototipova i gotovih proizvoda u industriji namještaja. Pozitivni rezultati primjene aditivne tehnologije pokazuju da će ona, usprkos manjim preprekama i problemima povezivanja različitih proizvodnih procesa, imati važno mjesto u budućnosti dizajniranja i proizvodnje namještaja. Najvažnije prednosti 3D printanja jesu brza izrada prototipova, proizvodnja u jednom komadu, dizajn slobodnih formi i upotreba proizvodnih materijala te mogućnost njihova recikliranja.
