    Previous periods of manufacturing have been characterized by progressive centralization of operations, dating back to the time of the Industrial Revolution. In traditional manufacturing, raw materials are brought together, assembled and fabricated in large centralized factories into identical products that are then distributed through various channels. In distributed manufacturing (DM), the raw materials and methods of fabrication are decentralized and coordinated using information technology and supporting optimization algorithms, and the final product is manufactured very close to the final customer. There are many opportunities emerging from DM but there are also several challenges that could prevent its wider adoption. This presentation will focus on the innovation potential and challenges of DM.
