Aerospace & Defense

Since its creation, additive manufacturing (AM) has had a role to play in the aerospace and defense sectors. With applications for both polymer and metal 3D printing, AM is popular in these industries for its ability to make optimized, cost-effective, lighter parts that still have the appropriate properties and strength to be used even as end-use parts.In fact, the technology is so popular that according to a report from Research and Markets, the global market revenue generated by AM in aerospace was about $1.36 Billion USD in 2020 alone. Additionally, it is expected to continue to grow, potentially reaching a value of about $7.08 Billion USD by 2028. Meanwhile, additive manufacturing in defense is steadily growing with even the largest militaries, including in the U.S, increasingly adopting the technologies for various uses. In this category you can find all our articles on additive manufacturing in the aerospace and defense industries.
