Polymers: The Future of Polymers for Additive Manufacturing

composites additive manufacturing market is projected to grow at an impressive rate of 22.1 % CAGR to reach an estimated value of US$ 7.676 Bn by 2026.Global composites additive manufacturing market3D printing is a promising opportunity in composites industry.

Though, the process of 3D printing composite materials is not conventional yet, manufacturers have started to use it to print everything from car and aircraft parts to the walls of future buildings.Carbon fiber segment is proposed to remain the dominant in the global composites additive manufacturing market and also likely to witness the highest growth during the forecast period.

Carbon fiber delivers a numerous advantages over competing materials, such as lightweight, higher strength and stiffness, and exceptional fatigue and corrosion resistance.

High demand for lightweight components in the structural applications for improving fuel efficiency or reducing carbon emissions is the leading growth driver of the increased demand for carbon fibers in major industries, such as aerospace & defense and automotive.Extrusion is expected to remain the most dominant technology for the fabrication of 3D-printed composite parts during the forecast period as it is considered to be a superior technology in terms of withstanding high temperature; however, powder bed infusion technology is estimated to grow at the highest rate during the same period.

3D printers have opened new tracks at each stage of production of motor vehicles; from the functional prototyping phases, design, and tooling production to parts manufacturing, the automotive industry is one of the forerunners in the use and integration of 3D printing in its processes.

3D printing has potential to upend the pharmaceutical world and vastly simplify daily life for patients with multiple ailments.The objective of the report is to present a comprehensive assessment of the market and contains thoughtful insights, facts, historical data, industry-validated market data and projections with a suitable set of assumptions and methodology.

The global metal powders for additive manufacturing market mainly depicts the presence of a highly fragmented and competitive vendor landscape, says Transparency Market Research on the basis of a newly published report.

With new companies entering this sector on a regular basis, the competition is expected to increase dramatically during the upcoming years.

Most companies are focused on increasing product manufacturing capacities and improving product quality.A lot of focus is being imparted on bringing about extensive innovations in the production techniques used to manufacture metal powders.

Participating in mergers & acquisitions, expansion of product portfolios, and achieving product differentiation also are key schemes implemented by many businesses in the global metal powders for additive manufacturing market.

Hoganas AB, Rio Tinto, Arconic Inc., Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd., Renishaw Plc., Carpenter Technology Corporation, Miba AG, Sandvik AB, BÖHLER Edelstahl GmbH & Co KG, Praxair Technology Inc., Metaldyne Performance Group Inc., GKN Plc., Aubert & Duval, and ATI Powder Metals, are key players operating in the global metal powders for additive manufacturing market.Request a Sample - https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S_id=33197According to market experts, this market had gained revenue worth US$310.6 mn in 2016, and is further expected to grow up to US$1,783.9 mn by 2025.

This is mainly due to a great need of the additives made from metals in these industries, owing to their advantageous properties such as corrosion resistance, high error resistance, and notable tensile strength.

As an example, NASA’s rocket fuel injector which required 200 parts were reduced to just two parts using 3D printing.

They required completely re-designing the injector from scratch, using the DFAM strategy.

Here are few important tips to develop a product using DFAM:

Since additive manufacturing is totally different from conventional injection molding and CNC machining, you will have to think fresh about the design and forget everything about DFM or DFA.

Thus, old design concepts developed considering these factors must be eliminated.

It takes virtual designs from Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, and transforms them into thin, virtual, horizontal layer-wise cross-sections, until the model is complete.

Various synonyms generally used for AM are additive fabrication, additive processes, additive techniques, additive layer manufacturing, layer manufacturing, and freeform fabrication.

Technological innovations in 3d printing have been witnessed over the past few years.

Rising healthcare expenditure in emerging economies provide growth opportunities for the AM technologies, as new healthcare facilities have come up in these areas.

New and improved technologies, financial support from governments, large application area, rapid product development at a low cost, and ease of development of custom products are the major drivers that are slated to propel additive manufacturing market.
