3d printing markets eventually equip for change

The future is now and here, and it is not an overstatement. It’s the time for translating dream projects into reality with the newfound three-dimensional printing technology advancements. All compact and user-convenient designs that were put to hold due to manufacturing restrictions shall hit global markets in the years to come. Amazing designs, critical applications, and crucial demand grabs attention from leading innovators participating in this change. Small scale enterprises are fascinated by the prospect of customized products to be brought at consumer’s disposal. Led by availability of more than 250 different materials and composites, commercialization of 3D printers is progressing at full pace. Key players get ready to bend their ways around designer’s considerations. 

Where all the pieces fit together 

Hard to believe, yet primitive study on additive manufacturing dates back to more than three decades from now. Simultaneous research proceeded until late 1990s, when subtractive manufacturing captured trends, and led to the discovery of metal depositing technique. However, during early 2000s, the pros added up to fulfill every designer’s dream and cost-effectiveness in the long run for industries as well. In the last ten years, industrial platforms actually grew certain components rather than having them ‘cut out’ from bars or plates. Complex robotics arms and developing processes have helped reduce material wastage by building precise designs. 
Current applications find their way into commercial production of special medical devices custom-built as per pipeline usage and light-weight robust components in automotive and aviation machinery. Latest buzz about fuel nozzles built by laser technology as General Electric suggests, has all eyes set on the project’s platform success. 

Impending builds

Demand inclinations increase the likeliness of production trends to incline towards healthcare at a global scale. A major scope lies in bio-engineering of tissues from cultured stem cells, plus creating custom nutrition supplements for individual case requirements. Considering the aesthetic liberty of 3D printing, fashion and luxury article segment would be quick to adopt the technology as its new favorite. Industrial designs, look forward to combine both additive and subtractive manufacturing for efficiently using construction materials while cutting on intensive labor costs and time at the same time. 

The overall picture constructed in the process shall entail improved end-products, higher production volumes, and of course, immense customer satisfaction. Supporting verticals, such as printing machine and materials industry have managed to keep the signs favorable for market growth. Global exhibitions over the past couple of years has witnessed launch of multiple commercialized three dimensional printing machinery and materials from industry leaders.

Let’s talk structures

Integration of dynamically improving tools such as artificial intelligence, process automation, and robotics on a common platform leave the stakeholders anticipatory of commercial success rates. Revel on the latest installations over breakfast and by tea-time there is a modified version available. Instead of considering this as a risk, the end-verticals need to outline prospective options at par with their present and predictive needs. It is the flexibility of creating almost anything from pretty much everything at hand which should drive adoption rates. 

The technology already claims global market evaluation of around $3 billion, growing at a CAGR of 21% as per the report “World 3D Printing Market - Opportunities and Forecasts 2014 – 2020” recently published by Allied Market Research. This report is an extensive assessment of technologies involved, sundry materials put to use, and the applications it serves. Based on this and company profiling of leading participants, it yields quantitative projections outlining opportunity segments added to the motivating and restraining factors. Hence, a solid reference for strategizing investments and activities for existing, as well as new, market entrants.
