3D Printing Metals Market Dynamics
DRIVER: Mass Customization of products with complex design and structure
Mass customization is the current trend in the 3D printing industry. 3D printing has made life easier as consumers can create designs and develop new paradigms by crafting their creative designs on the computer and print the same with the use of a printer. The 3D printing metal industry has aimed to offer customized lightweight products and maintain a low price through mass production. Complex and customized designs can be achieved through 3d printing.
Restraint: Limitation of printer size
3D printed parts cannot be larger than the machine’s build platform, which varies from printer to printer. The most common dimension of the printers is 250 × 250 × 300 mm and the larger printers are of dimension 400 × 400 × 380 mm. The size of the parts achieved is smaller than the dimension of the printer as the metal shrinks when it cools down after the sintering process. Although 3D printers that can manufacture large parts exist, they are expensive and are, therefore, an unrealistic option for many companies. These printers take longer to print products that are large in size. Thus, the size of the printed parts is a major factor that is limiting the growth of the market.
Opportunity: Potential to enhance manufacturing and supply chain management
The 3D printing metals market, which has been growing at a significant rate, has the potential to change the manufacturing and supply chain management. Metal 3D printing provides several advantages, such as mass customization and short production runs. Unlike traditional manufacturing processes, metal 3D printing eliminates the tooling requirement. Although conventional manufacturing costs less per unit produced, it has high up-front costs for tooling, and the production is more expensive as compared to 3D printing for low-volume manufacturing. Metal 3D printing also helps in reducing the waste produced during the manufacturing process by building a part using a layer-on-layer process.
Challenge: Specific material requirements
The high cost of 3D printing metals has been a significant point of concern associated with its market growth. This is due to the specific requirements of the metal powders used in the process. Metals are required to be converted into powder form with every powder molecule of spherical shape. This spherical shape of the powder offers high packing characteristics and better flow properties. The spherical shape of the powder also affects the density and mechanical properties of the final product and assures the consistency of the layers. These requirements of metal powders act as a challenge for the manufacturers of 3D printed metal products.
Powder segment to dominate the 3D printing metal market in 2021
The powder form of metal can form high-density products with complex geometries, which are used to manufacture engine parts and components. These metal particles are majorly available in a spherical shape and the powder form affects the density and mechanical properties of the final product and assures the consistency of layers. Thus, the increase in the demand for 3D printed products with high-density and high strength has increased the demand for powder form.
Powder bed fusion to hold largest share of the 3D printing metal market in 2021
The growth of the powder bed fusion segment can be attributed to the ability to create lightweight parts and components through advanced computer-aided design (CAD) processes, such as topology optimization. Powder bed fusion technology is widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries to manufacture 3D printed metal parts with fine details and accuracy.
Titanium segment is expected to have the largest share of the 3D printing metals market during the forecast period
The growth of the titanium segment can be attributed to the rising demand for 3D printed metal parts from aerospace & defense and automotive end-use industries. Titanium possesses properties such as high impact and high-temperature resistance. The titanium also finds its application in the medical & dental end-use industry to manufacture orthopedic and dental implants as well as artificial knee and hip replacements.
Aerospace & defense industry is projected to be the fastest-growing end-use industry of the 3D printing metals market during the forecast period
Metal 3D printing is used to print fuel nozzles and other critical engine components that require high precision and accuracy in the aerospace & defense industry. 3D printing reduces the overall weight of an aircraft and thereby the fuel consumption gets reduced. 3D printing metals are also used to manufacture specific brackets for satellites without altering the mold designs and manufacturing process. The increasing demand for critical engineering and fabrication applications in the aerospace & defense industry is driving the segment.
Asia Pacific projected to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period
Asia Pacific 3D printing metals market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. China is currently estimated to be the largest market for 3D printing metals in the Asia Pacific region. Established metal printer and powder manufacturers in North America and Europe are expanding their presence in the Asia Pacific region through several growth strategies.
