Abstract
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been attracting attention in recent years as an innovative production technology that can enhance sustainability in supply chains. Offering maximum material utilization, this technology can reduce waste generated during production. Further-more, its ability to produce close to the point of consumption makes it environmentally sig-nificant. Unlike traditional techniques, it produces layer-by-layer only in the required areas. This enables manufacturing processes that are demand-driven, flexible, and compatible with circular economy principles. This study reveals the factors and obstacles that facilitate the inte-gration of AM into sustainable supply chains. It also aims to assess three-dimensional sustain-ability impacts. The research explored the interactions between sustainability elements using the ISM (Interpretive Structural Modeling)–MICMAC (Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification) and DEMATEL (Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) methods. The results demonstrate that AM-induced enablers play a critical role in influencing the sustainability of supply chains. It is also emphasized that fully realizing this potential re-quires policy support, stakeholder collaboration, and investments in energy-efficient technol-ogies and environmentally friendly materials. Future research is recommended to focus on the integration of AM with Industry 4.0 technologies and the establishment of legal and economic incentive mechanisms to accelerate its widespread adoption.
