Very large companies now consider Additive Manufacturing expertise to be a core competency.

Industrial Additive Manufacturing Dominates

Industrial Photopolymer

Thermoplastic powder-bed

Metal powder-bed

2016 3D Printing Technology Market Share by Revenue $2.6Bn excluding materials

Industrial Material Extrusion

Sales of consumer level 3D printers has slowed. Companies who bet on this market are suffering.

Adopters are pushing for the development of new materials.

Reliability and qualified performance of the printed parts is essential for replacing incumbent manufacturing solutions.

One manufacturer of 3D metal printers, saw year-on-year revenue growth of 97.1%

Graphene and CNTs EnergizeCarbon Nanotubes used widely in batteries to speed up chargingFor Graphene, the application divergence period is coming to an end, and energy storage is emerging as a focus area (38% in 2020).


Component providers move downstream and create new products themselves or work with partners.Creating a new wave of products that consumers want but which do not exist yet

New Form Factors and Design Freedom
