D2.4 Final conceptual model on webs of innovation value chains in additive manufacturing

This report summarizes current-state knowledge on the webs of innovation value chains (IVC) in additive manufacturing (AM), building upon and upgrading I AM RRI D2.3 (also D2.1 and D2.2) and including feedback and input from practitioners on the real innovation value chains and their webs. The report offers additional details concerning the measures of the antecedent factors and performance indicators relevant to the innovation value chains and possibilities for the openings for responsible research and innovations (RRI). The report builds a foundation for simulating and testing the conceptual model. As the literature offers merely partial evidence on the aspects of the model and also the practitioner interviews have covered partial innovation value chains only, the conceptual model requires further development during the forthcoming phases of the project (in WP3, WP4 and WP5), as indicated in the project plan.
