Abstract
Abstract
The high investment costs in machinery for metal additive manufacturing (mAM) favor the emergence of contract manufacturers. This means that bundling several customer orders into one production order is particularly advantageous given the long production times for mAM. However, there is no order processing model that takes the special features of mAM into account. As a result, the requirements of a mAM for order processing are examined using as a reference the Aachen PPS model and process changes are presented.
