- Abstract
The paper is set out to explore the factors, like cost and time saving, that shows how 3D printing strengthens RandD collaboration among academia and industry.3D printers are becoming the need of era and are applicable in many sectors like medical, aerospace, automotive, architecture, construction and consumer goods etc. RandD collaboration leads to the leverage of knowledge and drive innovation within the companies. RandD collaboration is two-way teamwork where teams can work by the give and take principle. For the collection of data face-to face in-depth interviews were conducted. N Vivo 12 software has been used for the in-depth qualitative analysis which shows how additive manufacturing strengthens RandD collaboration among academia and industry. Many techniques have been used for the validation of different themes of the study such as coding nodes, thematic diagrams, word tree, word tag clouds and tree map. The theoretical and practical significance of the study includes its contribution towards qualitative research, establishing innovation nexus, bridging the gap between science and technology, and stimulating regional development.
