| Abstract (English): |
To increase the adoption of metal additive manufacturing, reliable and standardised cost estimation models are required to guide decisionmaking during the product development process. Currently a multitude of cost and business models are available that have been developed for specific components, specific applications, and the different types of additive manufacturing processes. Given the specific nature of these models, they are often unsuitable for use by companies that are considering the application of additive manufacturing beyond the boundaries of the models. This study provides a critical analysis of existing cost modelling approaches in the field of metal additive manufacturing and aims to increase understanding of how cost contributors are identified and cost significance is attributed.

| Abstract (Afrikaans): |
Om die aanvaarding van metaaladditiewe vervaardiging te verhoog, is betroubare en gestandaardiseerde kosteberamingsmodelle nodig om besluitneming tydens die produkontwikkelingsproses te lei. Tans is 'n menigte koste- en besigheidsmodelle beskikbaar wat ontwikkel is vir spesifieke komponente, spesifieke toepassings en die verskillende tipes additiewe vervaardigingsprosesse. Gegewe die spesifieke aard van hierdie modelle, is hulle dikwels ongeskik vir gebruik deur maatskappye wat die toepassing van additiewe vervaardiging buite die grense van die modelle oorweeg. Hierdie studie bied 'n kritiese analise van bestaande kostemodelleringsbenaderings op die gebied van metaal-additiewe vervaardiging en beoog om begrip te verhoog van hoë kostebydraers geïdentifiseer word en kostebetekenis toegeskryf word.
