Market Highlights

The popularity of 3D metal printing has grown over the years. When compared to the traditional manufacturing, making metal and plastic objects can be a wasteful process. The new technology reduces wastage and turns out to be efficient.

In the aerospace industry, when aircraft makers manufacture metal parts, around 80% of the material is thrown away. 3D printing metal parts uses less energy and reduces waste to a minimum. The finished 3D printed product can be up to 55% lighter compared to the traditional manufactured parts.

Industry Updates

In December 2018, Siemens opened a new 3D printing facility at materials Solutions in the UK. An investment of USD 27 Mn has been made on the factory which aims to drive the industrialization of 3D printing.

Key Findings

3D Printing Metal technology offers the advantages of the shorter value chain, reduction in cost and time, improved customization, and minimal waste. There is a large push for customization and personalization of manufactured products to meet the requirements of customers which presents tremendous opportunities to the global 3D printing metal market.

The global 3d printing metal derives much of its growth from increasing use in the aerospace & defense industry. Utilization of 3D printing metal technology in the aerospace industry not only provides operating cost efficiencies but also facilitates production of lightweight airplane components.

The healthcare industry is also a key end-use industry for 3D printing metal market. Healthcare products such as artificial hip joints and other implants demand high precision which results in heightened demand for 3d printing metal technology.

Advancement in 3D printing metal technology such as direct metal laser sintering, selective metal sintering, electron beam melting, and honeycombing have opened up new avenues for the growth of the global 3d printing metal industry. The advent of the industry 4.0 business ecosystem is anticipated to promote the growth of the global 3d printing metal market.

Conversely, the high cost of 3D printers and metal powders remain a significant hurdle to 3D printing becoming a viable, large-scale production technique.
