Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the
intention of consumers to use desktop 3D printers with taking into account the
dimensions of perceived barriers and enjoyment. This study contributes to the
early understanding of Turkish consumers’ intention to use desktop 3D printers.
According to the results of the research; the effect of the perceived enjoyment
on intention to use of 3D Printer was positive and the effect of the perceived
barrier on intention to use was negative. When the results are anticipated in
terms of 3D Printer ownership; the perceived enjoyment in user group who have
3D Printer was lower than the group who do not have, whereas risk perceptions
stems from barriers was higher for this group.

Keywords
