It also highlights future growth opportunities and the strategic imperatives that need to be undertaken by market participants in order to capitalize on these growth opportunities. Further, it also includes a CEO's 360-degree perspective.

The global dimensional metrology equipment market for additive manufacturing (AM) is at a nascent state of its lifecycle. The total dimensional metrology market for AM reached $228.3 million in 2019, growing by 5.5% from 2018. An increasing trend toward incorporating additive manufacturing as a part of the entire production chain is leading to more adoption of a holistic approach as an integral part of the production chain.

Compared to traditionally siloed works, an integrated and holistic inspection process will have a better chance of thriving in the dynamic additive manufacturing market. Inspection measurement technology is frequently located at the end of production. However, as the industry starts moving from prototyping to final part production, there is a higher need to understand how the parameters are actually affecting the quality of the part across all phases of the production cycle and networking of all interfaces with more adoption of CMMs, 3D scanners, and X-ray CT technologies.

Moreover, several advancements will be possible in a connected-lab environment, enabling more automation where a wide range of metrology systems rely on several sources of data to make autonomous smart decisions to the final verified part. End users will be looking into more fully automated measuring systems as an integral part of production with the need for real-time data in the production environment. The publisher expects a scenario of major interoperability with manufacturing systems.
