| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北商業大學 === 商學研究所 === 103 === 3D printing (3DP) is one of the most promising technologies that allows digital fabrication as well as tool-free manufacturing to shorten a product’s time to market. A comprehensive research framework derived from a technology–organization–environment (TOE) model was developed for this research. Data were collected from 104 manufacturers in Taiwan. A hybrid approach was proposed whereby the research model was selected important variables using decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), and the results from DEMATEL were used as inputs for a rough set (RST) model for predicting 3DP adoption. The study adopted DEMATEL to calculate the causal relationship and interaction level between the TOE variables, and remove those variables with less degree of influence, then RST was applied to generate rules from data. According to the findings, the technology integration, hardware costs, expectations of market trends, and partner readiness are core variables of the model while government policy was removed. Moreover, the RST approach is used to extract the rules of those organizations planning to adopt 3DP. This research proposed hybrid model also assists in managerial decision making.
