Abstract

Purpose Present for more than 20 years, 3D food printing (3DFP) technology has not experienced the same widespread adoption as its non-food counterparts. It is believed that relevant business models are crucial for its expansion. The purpose of this study is to identify the dominant prototypical business models and patterns in the 3DFP industry. The knowledge gained could be used to provide directions for business model innovation in this industry. Design/methodology/approach The authors established a business model framework and used it to analyse the identified 3DFP manufacturers. The authors qualitatively identified the market’s prototypical business models and used agglomerative hierarchical clustering to extract further patterns. Findings All identified 3DFP businesses use the prototypical business model of selling ownership of physical assets, with some variations. Low-cost 3D food printers for private usage and dedicated 3D food printers for small-scale food producers are the two primary patterns identified. Furthermore, several benefits of 3DFP technology are not being used, and the identified manufacturers are barely present in high-revenue markets, which prevents them from driving technological innovation forward. Practical implications The extracted patterns can be used by the companies within the 3DFP industry and even in other additive manufacturing segments to reflect upon, refine or renew their business model. Some directions for business model innovation in this industry are provided. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first quantitative study to give an account of the current 3DFP business models and their possible evolution. This study also contributes to the business model patterns methodological development.

3D食品打印行业的商业模式
20多年来,3D食品打印(3DFP)技术并没有像其非食品同行那样得到广泛采用。认为相关的商业模式对其扩张至关重要。本研究的目的是确定3DFP行业中占主导地位的原型商业模式和模式。所获得的知识可以为该行业的商业模式创新提供方向。设计/方法/方法作者建立了一个商业模型框架,并用它来分析确定的3DFP制造商。作者定性地确定了市场的原型商业模式,并使用聚集的层次聚类来提取进一步的模式。所有确定的3DFP企业都使用出售实物资产所有权的典型商业模式,其中有一些变化。用于私人使用的低成本3D食品打印机和用于小规模食品生产商的专用3D食品打印机是确定的两种主要模式。此外,3DFP技术的几个好处并没有得到利用,而确定的制造商几乎没有出现在高收入市场中,这阻碍了他们推动技术创新。实际意义所提取的模式可用于3d打印行业甚至其他增材制造领域的公司,以反思、改进或更新其商业模式。为该行业的商业模式创新提供了一些方向。原创性/价值据作者所知,这是第一次对当前3DFP商业模式及其可能的演变进行定量研究。本研究也有助于商业模式方法论的发展。
