Re-shoring in the UK has gained considerable momentum in the last two years. A number of scholars have also explored this phenomenon in different countries including USA, Germany and France. However the operational perspectives still remain untouched. According to the study previously done by the author of this paper, one of the primary factors behind the re-shoring phenomenon in the UK is the lack of responsiveness. Therefore there is long lead-time associated with the supplies from low-cost countries such as China and India. In order to prevent this, new generation of technologies such as Additive Manufacturing (AM) can be used to postpone the final configuration of the product until the real data about the demand is available. This study aims to investigate how AM technologies can change the supply chain configuration of the company which is involved in repatriating manufacturing activities back to the UK and use local network instead of oversea supplier. In order to carry out this study, a survey questionnaire was conducted among 55 companies that use AM technologies in their production. Results indicate that AM can support re-shoring strategies by allowing more customisation, shorter lead time, and more responsiveness to customer demand.
