The dynamism of markets has been intensifying by the globalization, the technological advances and the social changes. Consequently, companies need to adapt timely to remain competitive, or may disappear. In this context, disruptive innovations are becoming more frequent. This is the case of additive manufacturing, popularly known as 3D printing. These are technologies with disruptive potential that goes beyond the production paradigm, influencing logistics, society, markets and multiple sectors, such as health, defense, automotive, civil construction and even food. From this point, this work seeks to verify the disruptive potential of additive manufacturing technologies, starting with the deepening of the knowledge about these technologies. Next, it is analyzed the management of current supply chains and the implications of additive manufacturing technologies on supply chain management. Finally, the study confronts the disruptive potential of additive manufacturing with the Brazilian Navy s supply chain of spare parts, in order to improve that supply chain, searching solutions to the difficulties faced by the Brazilian Fleet in those technologies.
