Description
3D printing has received much
attention in the press over recent years. Hyped as the technology to bring
about a 3rd industrial revolution, 3D printing technologies were in fact
invented in the late 80s since when they have seen steady, if unspectacular,
growth. After 2009 however, changes occurred which have seen the fortunes of
the 3D printing world take an abrupt turn for the better. Manufacturers of 3D
printers are reporting a surge in demand and markets for 3D printing are
growing rapidly across a number of application areas as new materials
development open up new opportunities.

3D printers in fact constitute a
raft of technologies, based on a number of different physical mechanisms, the
common feature of which is the generation of a 3-dimensional physical object
from a digital model. The process is additive in nature, as materials are laid
down only where needed, and thus results in significantly less materials wastage
than traditional manufacturing techniques. Each of the technologies is suitable
for use with a different range of materials, which in turn defines the suitable
applications of the printer.
Originally used for the rapid
production of prototypes for form and fit testing, applications are
transitioning towards also functional testing of prototypes under working
conditions, and further, the manufacture of final products.
This report gives forecasts to 2025 for the following sectors:
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Consumer Product
- Medical/dental
- Jewellery, architecture, and the design arts
Applications are detailed for:
- Rapid prototyping
- Final product manufacture
- Tooling
The home use market for 3D printers,
sometimes known as the hobbyist market, will remain relatively small as
limitations in terms of the range of materials available will persist
for the foreseeable future, and reports of plastic fumes, in particular
associated to ABS, will deter many potential users.
