碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 科技管理研究所 === 104 === This thesis is focus on 3D printing in orthopedic implants R&D process and includes a review of the R&D process, market dynamics, and 3D printing technology applications. The study analysis by applying an Innovation Intensive Service(IIS) model at firm-level. Structuring a matrix which encompasses four service packages and five innovation modes reflect 20 types of company operation forms. By interviewing and administering a questionnaire to experts in the field, we can elucidate the strategy position and future development trend of the industry, and the find out the important key success factors(KSF) in internal value activities and externalities for firms. Study results show that Taiwan’s 3D printing orthopedic R&D presently positions itself in the “Product Innovation/Restricted Service”. In the next 5 years, it will still maintain in the position. In this position, internal value activities focus on Design and Marketing; externalities pay attention to Complementary Assets Supplier, R&D/Science, Technology, Production, Servicing and Other Users. It is necessary to strengthen KSF in these factors.
