Executive Summary
3D printing has long been considered a tool to design and create unique prototypes of objects quickly. With the advancement in 3D printing technology, the framework of the manufacturing industry is currently under the process of transformation. The 3D printing technology has brought a revolutionary change in the manufacturing industry. The first 3D printing prototype was attempted by Dr. Hideo Kodama of Japan in 1980, for developing a rapid prototyping technique. The growing demand for prototyping has substantially reduced the price of 3D printing over the years. Additionally, the innovative products that will be used as prototypes are expected to further reduce the cost of 3D printing. Therefore, 3D printing is expected to significantly impact the manufacturing industry in the future.
The establishment of 3D printing within the manufacturing industry has resulted in high growth of related service providers, 3D printing engineering and consulting services, as well as manufactures for 3D printing materials.The 3D printing technology is anticipated to dominate the manufacturing industry across the globe for 3D printing functional parts, fit and finish components and the molds and tooling segments for aerospace and automotive industry.
The rapid speed and flexibility of the 3D printing technology as compared to conventional manufacturing processes, is a boon for manufacturing functional parts such as engine parts, turbines, headlights, and bezels in the aerospace and automotive industry.
In 2017, the global 3D printing market for automotive and aerospace industry in terms of value was valued at $3.07 billion, which is expected to reach $9.36 billion by 2023 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 17.86% during the forecast period 2018-2023. This growth is attributed to the reliability and accuracy of 3D printed parts, manufactured using 3D printing technology and their cost effectiveness, as compared to parts manufactured conventionally.
