Many believe the 3-D printing industry will grow by orders of magnitude in the future.
There’s still a tremendous investment opportunity for growth.

Differs from traditional manufacturing, which often starts with a solid block of material that’s shaved down into its final form.

Objects can be 3-D printed in a range of materials, including plastic, glass, sand, composite, and metal.

Faster product development times

No tooling required

Nearly unlimited complexity

Potential to make fundamentally better products over conventional manufacturing methods

Victoria’s Secret, and even the U.S. Air Force have adopted 3-D printing.

3-D metal print 45,000 fuel nozzles a year for its upcoming Leap jet engine. An industry first!
GE can consolidate a conventionally manufactured fuel nozzle from 20 parts into one 3-D printed part.
The benefits are so significant that GE wants 3-D printing to “touch” 50% of its products in 20 years in some way, whether it’s the product itself, the tools to make the product, or early iterations of the product.

to grow its 3-D printing and advanced manufacturing capacity to support 50% of its products being “touched” by 3-D printing in next 20 years.
If other manufacturers follow suit, it could lead to significant 3-D printing spending in the future.

Continued worldwide adoption of 3-D printing could promote a resurgence in localized manufacturing and cut China’s manufacturing base out of the equation.

If 3-D printing can grow to represent just 1% of the $10.5 trillion worldwide manufacturing base, it would become a $105 billion a year industry!
