Abstract

To study the impacts of additive manufacturing (AM) in the circular economy (CE), we develop a causal loop diagram (CLD) that consists of contingent factors which are detected in a structured literature review by systematic analyses of content and contingencies. The CLD is developed further to a simulation model to analyze the system behavior and to investigate core factors of AM and their roles and interrelationships in CE contexts. The findings inform about the (in-)stability of the system and how it can be influenced.
