LONDON—Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global 3D printing materials market report until 2020. This research report also lists three other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
Massive returns and opportunities: The automotive segment emphasizes on high-volume production and not on weight reduction as compared with the aerospace industry. Therefore, the penetration in the automotive industry will be lesser than the aerospace industry in the short term. However, the capital expenditure for the automotive industry globally is higher than for aircraft engines, and therefore, small changes in the automotive industry can reflect as massive returns and opportunities. BMW use Stratasys machine to manufacture certain jigs and fixtures.
Competitive vendor landscape
According to the report, the global 3D printing materials market has many vendors. These vendors offer plastics, steel, nickel, cobalt-chrome, titanium, and aluminum 3D printing materials. However, the vendors in the market are focusing on increasing their portfolio to cater to the growing demand and survive in the competitive market.
“The vendors can also be grouped based on the technology. Arcam uses EBM for powder bed fusion. SLM Solutions, EOS, Concept Laser, Renishaw, Realizer, and 3D Systems (Phenix) use SLM. Optomec and TRUMPF use directed energy deposition methods; whereas, Voxeljet and ExOne use binder jetting technology,” says Chandrakumar Badala Jaganathan, one of the lead metals and minerals analyst from Technavio.
