VoxelMatters Reports on Additive Manufacturing in Aerospace and Defense
The defense and aerospace industries have used additive manufacturing in a variety of ways. While in its early days it was mainly used for prototypes and tools, we are now seeing more and more end parts in these industries being manufactured using 3D printing. This indicates that additive manufacturing has potential in these sectors that’s far from being fully utilized. The new report from VoxelMatters, which will be published on October 29, will focus on the current state of additive manufacturing in aerospace and defense, what trends we can expect in the future and where the market is heading in the next ten years. VoxelMatters launched its pre-sale campaign on October 14 for its report, and we’ve taken a look at what to expect.
VoxelMatters is media platform specializing in additive manufacturing topics. Their market research and consulting division, VoxelMatters Research, published the report we’re focusing on today. The department examines trends within the AM industry, analyzes them and provides well-founded forecasts for the coming years. Their upcoming report will examine how additive manufacturing is being used in the defense and civil aerospace sectors and where the trend is heading in the coming years. Charts and tables provide readers with insights into data on hardware, materials and 3D printing service providers in these industries.
In addition to current and future trends based on sales of machines, materials and services, VoxelMatters also focuses on the supply of parts and the business potential of AM for the aerospace industry. This is addressed separately in six categories, namely civil aviation, military aviation, civil aerospace, military aerospace and civil and military UAVs. These figures show the current status quo in aerospace & defense and VoxelMatters provides an outlook for the next ten years.
VoxelMatters Accesses an Extensive Data Pool
The data obtained is based on previously conducted studies, surveys and an internal industry directory. VoxelMatters thus draws on findings from previously published studies on polymers, composites, metals and technical ceramics. Additionally, they reference data sets from its directory with almost 7,000 entries for AM companies, including pioneers such as 3D Systems, Colibrium Additive, Desktop Metal, EOS, etc. VoxelMatters also surveyed 237 aerospace companies that rely on additive manufacturing, such as Airbus, Arianespace, Lufthansa, Northrop Grumman and many more. The report is based on data from a total of 1,697 companies that either offer 3D printing solutions or use AM for the production of end parts.
VoxelMatters aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of additive manufacturing in aerospace and defense. Then, based on the trends identified, they aim to predict where the journey will take us in the coming years. The data is intended to help companies looking to position themselves in the market and also support OEMs in the industries by providing data sets that reflect the market potential of the technologies, materials and challenges. In addition, the report is helpful for established players and can be used as an investing guide.
The full report is available to pre-order now from VoxelMatters with a saving of £500 at the special price of £3,490 and will be published on 29/10. More information can be found here.
