It has been commonly recognized that additive manufacturing (AM) enables cost-effective and efficient production towards sustainability. A rigorous evaluation method is required to further investigate the measurement efficiency before AM can be well-positioned in sustainable become industry mainstream. Cost reduction plays key role industry. Compared conventional (CM), cost of volume independent. In contrary, CM requires a certain share initial tooling achieve reduction. This constraint limits from service on demand, leave ambiguity behind. Invisibility advantage factors blocks technologies appropriate process affects its applications. The major issues encountering are scaling, speed size products. Enhancement scaling threshold modeling nobility this study breakthrough issues. Through study, generic equations derived by using Convergence Effect Buy-to-Fly (BTF) ratio. Divide-and-Conquer approach supports dependencies (CM) as well methods. Consequently, convergence enhance standardization, decision support, pre-pilot society through benchmarking. Advantages identified, collaboration pattern proposed connect large enterprise (LE), SME, home-based-business (HBB) into an society. society, advantages fully utilized, resolved, AM’s dominant becomes feasible
