The authors would like to thank the DOD Office of Manufacturing Technology and the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative for the resources that made this study possible. Additionally, we are indebted to the MIT Center for Additive and Digital Advanced Production Technologies, the Massachusetts Manufacturing Extension Program, and America Makes. Without these groups, the interviews that underpin this study would not have been successful. 2022-07-20T00:37:41Z 2022-07-20T00:37:41Z 2022-06 Technical Report https://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/143871 en_US Attribution 3.0 United States http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/ application/pdf
