Focus on global: Eight dates interpret 3D printing market

3D printing is a comprehensive technology that integrates design, manufacture, product and application. With the continuous development of 3D printing, now, both the US and Europe and China, from the national regional policy, industry investment and market performance, the 3D printing are present a thriving scene. In this context, the 3D printing industry will face great development opportunities and challenges. Domestic 3D printing companies and the whole industry should strengthen research and development in all related fields and master the core technologies as much as possible. Next, we will explain the 8 big data in 3D printing development.

1. 5 to 10 companies: In 2017, we will cultivate 5 to 10 manufacturers with more than 500 million yuan worth of products with strong R&D and application capabilities.

According to ministry of industry, the national development plan for the development of additive manufacturing has been basically completed and will be released soon. Intelligent manufacturing has become the main direction of the integration of the ministry of industry and information technology. At present, relevant ministries and commissions have drafted relevant suggestions to accelerate intelligent manufacturing, and the application of additive manufacturing scale is about to take substantive steps. Additive manufacturing technology, known as "3D printing" for the public.

It is reported that the national development goal of 3D printing is mainly as follows: By 2017, we will establish a new system of manufacturing technology innovation for additive manufacturing, and cultivate 5 to 10 companies with annual output value of over 500 million yuan, with strong R&D and application capabilities. And formed a batch of research and development and industrialization demonstration base all over the country. On the policy measures, the state will strengthen the leadership of the organization, strengthen the financial support, and support the 3D printing enterprises to list and issue non-financial corporate debt.

2. 5 to 6 companies: Set up 5-6 manufacturing technology innovation center and improve support policy.

The plan also mentions a significant deepening of industry applications. Increase material manufacturing become aerospace and other high-end equipment manufacturing and repair in the field of important technical means, preliminary become design of research and development of products, innovative ideas and the realization of the individualized product and new drug development, clinical diagnosis and treatment of the tool. To form a batch of application demonstration centers or bases in China.

At the same time, we plan to set up an industry association of additive manufacturing industry to strengthen the research on some problems such as safety and ethics in the future development of additive manufacturing technology.

We will establish 5-6 technology innovation centers for additive manufacturing, improve supportive policies and form a relatively perfect industrial standard system.

3. One trillion yuan: China's 3D printing market has a space of trillions of yuan.

According to industry insiders, the domestic 3D printing technology market could reach nearly one billion yuan in the next three years, making it the largest 3D printing market in the world. The domestic 3D printing technology market will grow at least twice a year in the next few years. The application field of 3D printing is very wide. Medical, military and daily necessities can be applied. Once the 3D cost can be reduced, the technology will be further developed. Once the market agrees, the relevant products will be like the APP application of mobile phone. At that time, domestic 3D market space should reach at least a trillion yuan.

4. 8 million: The U.S. government has paid 8 million for 3D printing programs and programs.

AmericaMakes has announced a project to solicit serious proposals and research projects related to 3D printing for its members. Members may submit their proposals by May 1, 2015. It should be noted that the membership of AmericaMakes is easy to obtain, and its membership is divided into three categories: leading members, full members, and sponsors.

The U.S. defense manufacturing and processing center and AmericaMakes have earmarked $8 million for programs and research programs that help boost U.S. manufacturing competitiveness.

The five main areas of focus for this project are:

Additive manufacturing design - a new design tool that hopes to break through existing CAD design limitations.

Additive manufacturing materials - hopefully more stable, more consistent and standardized materials will be available.

Additive manufacturing process - the overall goal is to provide a technique that is feasible and does not require post-production processing.

Additive manufacturing value chain -- hope to achieve better integration between different 3D printing technologies, 3D printing and other technologies.

Additive manufacturing genomes - including new materials, innovative computing methods and tools, and new data sets that can be streamlined and optimized for 3D printing.

5. Ten billion: The future application of 3D printing will be over ten billion market scale.

A report released in 2013 by Wohlers, a leading 3D printing consultancy, showed that the 3D printing market grew by an average of 8.6% in 2012, with a total output value of $2.204 billion. The average annual growth rate in the past three years was 27.4%. The 3D printing market will reach $6 billion in 2019. Among them, the market share of the medical application market is 15.1%, and the market is expected to reach us $1.9 billion in 2025, equivalent to over ten billion yuan. The rapid development of 3D printing technology and the increasing application scope mainly have four major factors: First, the consumption level application is open, the low price of the personal 3D printer rapid popularity, sales explosive growth. Third, the media and social attention has risen sharply, promoting the cultivation of the application market. The government attaches great importance to the increase and the policy support is intensified. Fourth, core basic patents expire, and new entrants have increased substantially, especially in the consumer-oriented 3D printing market.

6. 44 hours: The world's first 3D printed car will be completed in about 44 hours.

The north American auto show, the company's latest 3D printed product, also appeared on the show. According to LocalMotors, the car, called Strati, is the world's first 3D printed car and is currently being manufactured for about 44 hours. The vehicle's drawings were designed by MicheleAnoe, the winner of the design competition held by the company.

The Strati car started manufacturing today at LocalMotors' "tiny factory" in Detroit.

LocalMotors says it will promote such "micro-factories" in large Numbers. The factory is usually located on the outskirts of the city. It can create more than 100 jobs, reduce freight costs and 97% distribution costs, and increase material recycling to reduce waste of resources. Meanwhile, the delivery time can be accelerated.

7.42.44%: The global 3D printing market will grow by 42.44% over the next five years.

A recent release of "2015-2019: global 3D printing market analysis report" mentioned that as 3D printing becomes more and more popular. 3D printing is becoming the mainstream of the market, and the market size will grow by 42.44 percent over the next five years.

The analysis results show that the current fast and timely feature has won many markets for 3D printing, and 3D printers can provide efficient input and output ratio and fast time control. This also shortens the product development cycle and reduces the pressure on the company's product launch time.

8.13.4 billion: In 2018, the global 3D printer market reached $13.4 billion.

A report by Gartner, a market-research firm, predicts that the global 3D printer market will grow to $13.4 billion by 2018.

3D printing technology offers manufacturers the opportunity to improve their competitiveness through innovation and to transform product development into a core advantage. PeteBasiliere, a research vice President at Gartner, cites several examples of 3D printing to make the manufacturing industry grassroots. The 3D printing technology will speed up the time of the manufacturers to launch new products in the market and improve their competitiveness by developing products faster than competitors. He emphasized the need to invest in 3D technology training and development, as well as the potential of 3D printing technology to manage the product life cycle.
