Abstract

The article analyzes the newest trends in the industry and production research. Making insight in the most popular research domains and changes in the industry enabled the authors to formulate a thesis that the manufacturing world strode in the new revolution based on the Additive Manufacturing technologies. It can be stated that a particular gap exists in the field of production engineering that needs to be fulfilled by developing appropriate solutions for the factories integrating AM technologies in their workflow. The paper proves this statement by showing numbers of publications within sub-domains in scope of “individualization of production”. As a basic discouragement on the way to the new production paradigm, it was recognized a deficiency of accurate and versatile cost calculating models. The existing approaches were assessed and assigned to their best application which enabled to indicate a direction of the future research.
