碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 資訊管理學系所 === 106 === In response to the fourth industrial revolution and advanced manufacturing development, utilization of 3D printing technology in traditional manufacturing, medical and other fields, is gradually becoming a trend. This study examines the latest trends and applications in 3D printing. Therefore, this study selects two research subjects in a range of medical related industries, one is company that successfully applies 3D printing to medical solutions abroad, and the other is domestic successful brand that does not really invest in the production and sales of 3D printer parts by case study method and document analysis method. After comparing models canvas of the these two cases, this study makes recommendations for the development of related industries in the application of 3D printing reference. The conclusion of this study is that medical-related manufacturing can be put into 3D printing applications, both in terms of cost and efficiency. Meanshile, this study provides suggestions to Taiwan government and enterprises that utilization of 3D printing technology features not only brings about benefit in cost and effectiveness, but also rejuvenate related industries and enhance industrial competitiveness.
