A new report, 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing 2024-2034: Technology and Market Outlook, examines the likely impact of automation on additive manufacturing over the next decade.
The report, by specialist researcher on emerging markets, IDTechEx states that new, complex, and optimised structures could possibly be manufactured as the industry finds new ways to use materials and hardware to address customers' needs.
“Materials innovation is opening opportunities for newer applications, so the additive manufacturing market is by no means done growing yet,” it says.
“Improving on established technologies and innovating new printing hardware allows start-ups to take a shot at entering the market.
“New methods include the extrusion of thermosets using gel beds as a support for the print, developed by Rapid Liquid Print, while another company, 3Deus Dynamics, has created a new method for the extrusion of soft materials into a powder bed.”
IDTechEx says binder jetting as a technology is also gaining traction, which is very beneficial for metal powder providers.
“Due to the high throughput of binder jetting, higher material utilisation can be realised, leading to higher sales and lots of opportunities for these companies,” the report says.
“Artificial intelligence has an increasing role to play in detecting early errors in the printing process and defects after printing, and being able to correct them, changing the 3D model if necessary to prevent reoccurring errors.
“Additionally, AI can assist with the creation and development of more complex structures, and with the accompaniment of robots, the amount of labour required for additive manufacturing processes can be reduced,” the report concludes.
